Given the statement:
Danny jogged 8x-21 miles and Julie jogged 24x-63.
Determine the how many times longer was Julie's travelling distance than Danny's
Solution:
In order to do so, we must find for the value of x separately.
Danny
= 8x - 21
Transpose -21 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
8x = 21
DIvide both sides by 8.
8x/8 = 21/8
x = 2.625
Julie
= 24x - 63
24x = 63
24x/24 = 63/24
x = 2.625
Their travelling distance is the same.
Final answer:
Their travelling distance is the same.
