Billy and ken, the school's cross-country stars, were each running at cross-country practice. billy was going to run 3/4 of the training course, and ken was going to run 1/2 of the course. however, during practice it started raining, so they could not finish their run. billy had finished 1/3 of his run, while ken had finished 1/2 of his run. which cross-country star ran the furthest?

Both Country star ran the same distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Target to run by Billy =

Target to run by Ken =

We need to find the which of the men run the furthest.

Solution:

Now given:

Billy had finished 1/3 of his run

It means that Billy has run times of his Target.

framing in equation form we get;

Actual run by billy =

Also given

while Ken had finished 1/2 of his run.

It means that Ken has run times of his Target.

framing in equation form we get;

Actual run by Ken =

Hence Both Country star ran the same distance.

step-by-step explanation:

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
