Step-by-step explanation:

My speed

Speed of my friend

Time passed for both me and my friend will be equal if we start at the same time and the combined distance covered by both of us will be 24 miles. Let  be the time taken to meet

So, we meet each other after 1.5 hours.

Distance traveled by me

Distance traveled by my friend

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
