Mary went up the Old Tower taking 3 steps per second. Then she carefully came down from the tower taking 2 steps per second. It took Mary 25 seconds longer to come down than to go up. How many steps does the Old Tower have?

The old tower has 150 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of steps in the old tower be m

Mathematically, time = distance/speed

In this case, the distance is the number of steps while the speed is the rate of climbing or descending

For climbing, time spent = m/3

For descending time spent = m/2

Since it took her 25 longer when descending;

This means that;

m/2 - m/3 = 25

(3m-2m)/6 = 25

m/6 = 25

m = 6 * 25

m = 150 steps

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

the factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24. hope this ! mark brainliest! you v much! : )
