Bradley and Natalie are 190 feet apart when they begin walking directly toward one another. Bradley travels at a constant speed of 2.5 feet per second and Natalie travels at a constant speed of 4.5 feet per second. Let t represent the number of seconds that have elapsed since Bradley and Natalie started walking toward one another. Write an expression in terms of t that represents the number of feet Bradley has traveled since he started walking toward Natalie. Write an expression in terms of t that represents the number of feet Natalie has traveled since she started walking toward Bradley. Write an expression in terms of t that represents the distance between Bradley and Natalie. How many seconds after Bradley and Natalie started walking will they reach each other?
Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
