your friend runs for (x² – 225) seconds at a rate of

per second. how far does your friend run?

(x + 15) / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

d = (x² – 225) / (2x − 30)

d = (x – 15) (x + 15) / (2 (x – 15))

d = (x + 15) / 2

step-by-step explanation:

f

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
