The difference of three times a number x and 4
2 answers:
It's not mentioned exactly what we have to do but can be predicted that we have to frame equation on the basis of the given data.
Given, the number to be considered is x
- Three times x = 3x
- 4 is subtracted = -4
The required equation will be:
➝ 3x - 4
And this is only our final answer. And we are done !

Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
speed of Bharat = 12kilometers / hour
speed of Ingrid=14 kilometers / hour
For this problem we'll be using formula relating time, distance and speed.i.e
Distance = speed x time
Suppose Bharat is riding at a distance of 'b' kilometers, therefore time taken by him will be:
Time = distance/ speed
Time= b/12 hours.
Also, Ingrid can ride the distance at this time with speed of 14km/hr
The distance would be,
Distance = speed x time
Distance = 14 x (b/12) => 14b/12
Distance= 7b/6
Let '' be the distance that Bharat have covered after time 't'
therefore, = 12 x t
Let ' ' be the distance that Ingrid have covered after time 't'
therefore, = 14 x t
In order to find the time when they are 78 kilometers apart, we will add and
, because they are travelling in opposite direction creating distance between them.
So,
+
= 78
( 14 x t) + (12 x t) =78
14t + 12t =78
26t= 78
t= 78/26
t= 3hours.
thus, it will take 3 hours until they are 78 kilometers apart
