During vacation, Dave and his brother, Scott, rode their bikes from their family's rental house to a pond to go fishing. Although they left the rental house together, Dave arrived at the pond a few minutes before Scott. This weekend, they plan to ride a nearby mountain trail and turn back after an hour if they can't complete it. Who will likely ride farther along the mountain trail?

Dave

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are thinking logically, since dave arrived at the pond first even though they left at the same time, he should go farther because he is more athletic based on the information.

4/6 = 2/3

so it should take 3/3 hours per man. so 9 hours is the answer 3*3 =9

step-by-step explanation:

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
