Josh and Greg leave from the same place and travel the same route. Josh travels 2
hours and stops. Greg travels 5 hours at
double Josh's rate. After five hours, they
are 256 miles apart. Find the rate and
distance of each.

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Josh's rate of travel in miles per hour. After 2 hours, his distance is ...

  distance = speed · time

  distance = x · 2 = 2x

Then 2x is Greg's rate of travel After 5 hours, his distance is ...

  distance = speed · time

  distance = (2x) · 5 = 10x

The distance they are apart is ...

  10x -2x = 256

  8x = 256

  x = 32

__

Josh's rate: 32 miles per hour; Josh's distance = (2 h)(32 mi/h) = 64 miles.

Greg's rate: (32 mi/h)·2 = 64 mi/h; Greg's distance = (5 h)(64 mi/h) = 320 miles.

__

Check: 320 miles - 64 miles = 256 miles . . . . correct separation

4+n=5

step-by-step explanation:

this is because the four is four hours and the n represents the 1 extra hour over the weekend.

b= i'm srry i don't know that one.

4+n=5 n=1 because if vernon plays 5 hours a week then 4+1=5 hours.

hope this : )
