16(x − 3) + 87 = 17x16 (x−3) + 87 = 17x
x = 39
1. 12
2. 5
3. 7
4. 9
137 + x = 144
x = 144 – 137 = 7.
1. 53
2. 54
3. 72
4. 75
1. 69.0 km /hr
2. 69.2 km /hr
3. 67.2 km /hr
4. 67.0 km /hr
x = 84 kmph.
y = 56 kmph.
Average speed, = [(2 * 84 * 56) / (84 + 56)] = 67.2 km/h.
1. 15
2. 16
3. 15.5
4. Insufficient Data
