Answer to question
3-x/2=6
Subtract 3 from both sides
-x/2=3
Multiply 3 by -2
Final Answer: x=-6
Work check
3-x/2=6
Substitute -6 for x since you solved for x in the last equation
3-(-6)/2
Convert 3-(-6/2) to 3+6/2
3+6/2
Divide 6 by 2
3+3
Add
Final Answer: 6 (This 6 is the same 6 we used to solve for x in the first equation).
Let the slower runners speed be X kilometers per hour.
Then the faster runners speed would be X+2 kilometers per hour.
The formula for distance is Speed times time.
The distance is given as 30 kilometers and time is given as 3 hours.
Since there are two runners you need to add the both of them together.
The equation becomes 30 = 3x + 3(x+2)
Now solve for x:
30 = 3x + 3(x+2)
Simplify:
30 = 3x + 3x +6
30 = 6x + 6
Subtract 6 from each side:
24 = 6x
Divide both sides by 6:
x = 24/6
x = 4
The slower runner ran at 4 kilometers per hour.
The faster runner ran at 4+2 = 6 kilometers per hour.
