James and lucas competed in climbing a mountain and coming back. james climbed at an average rate of 3 mph and ran back at 4 mph. lucas climbed at an average rate of 2 mph and ran back at 5 mph. if the path from the bottom to the top of the mountain was 2 miles, how much time did each take to finish and who was faster?

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
