Brand A scooter has a top speed that goes 2 miles per hour faster than Brand B. If after 3 hours, Brand A scooter traveled 24 miles at its top speed, at what rate did Brand B scooter travel at its top speed if it traveled the same distance. Which equation will determine the solution? *

answer

6 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Top speed of Brand A scooter goes 2 miles per hour faster than Brand B.

Distance traveled by brand A scooter on its top speed in 3 hours = 24 miles

To find:

The rate at which brand B traveled the same distance at its top speed ?

Solution:

Let the top speed/rate of brand B scooter =  miles/hr

According to question:

Top speed/rate of brand A scooter =  miles/hr

Formula:

Distance is given to be equal to 24 miles:

24 = ()   (1)

Solving the above equation by first dividing the equation on both sides with 3:

Now subtracting 2 from both the sides:

Therefore, the answer is:

Top speed of scooter B is 6 miles/hr.

The if-then moves used to solve the equation (1) are:

Dividing by a non zero number on both sides, then subtracting a number on both sides.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x
