13x^2-16x=x^2-x

Can someone help solve this in using the quadratic formula

Step-by-step explanation:

Ron's speed = 3 miles/hour

Stevie's speed = 2.5 miles/hour

On comparing we see Ron is walking faster than Stevie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ron takes 10 minutes to walk on a track to cover a distance of 0.5 miles

Stevie takes 6 minutes to walk on a track to cover a distance of 0.25 miles

To find their unit rates in mile per hour and choose the faster one.

Solution:

Unit rate in miles per hour signifies their speeds. Thus, we will find out their speeds.

Ron:

Distance= 0.5 miles

Time = 10 minutes = hours

Speed =

Stevie

Distance = 0.25 miles

Time = 6 minutes = hours

Speed =

Thus, we have

Ron's speed = 3 miles/hour

Stevie's speed = 2.5 miles/hour

On comparing we see Ron is walking faster than Stevie.
