Rob can complete his bus route in 4 hours. Joan can complete her bus route in 3 hours. If they both left the terminal at 3:00 am and after each completed route returned to the terminal, determine the next time they would leave the terminal at the same time.

3:00 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

The next time they leave at the same time

To do this, we first list out the multiples of 4 and 3 (i.e. their time of completing each route)

So, we have:

The least common multiple in the above is:

This means that they will meet at the terminal after 12 hours

So, their meeting time is:

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
