Pam and Jake drive trucks for a produce company. One day, Pam drove 102 miles in 1 1/2 hours. Jake drove 54 miles in 3/4 hours. Who drove at a faster rate?

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x
