874215	2010-04-08 05:53:00	I have re-checked my math.... I still say the answer is: B=8 P=11 M=5 8+11+5=24 11-3=8 5x3≠8 Sorry, it's not correct.	pcuser42 (130)
874216	2010-04-08 06:00:00	8+11+5=24 11-3=8 5x3≠8 Sorry, it's not correct. sorry read the first post wrong.	robsonde (120)
874217	2010-04-08 06:13:00	x = 2.4 Peter = 2.4 Bill = 5.4 Michael = 16.2 Total = 24mins. :)	catspyjamas (15614)
874218	2010-04-08 06:22:00	x = 2.4 Peter = 2.4 Bill = 5.4 Michael = 16.2 Total = 24mins. :) Show your working, please. :)	bk T (215)
874219	2010-04-08 06:25:00	Try easycalculation.com It's all getting too confusing .... more wrong answers you get, the worse it becomes !	SP8's (9836)
874220	2010-04-08 06:28:00	Show your working, please. :) Peter = x Bill = x + 3 Michael = 3x + 9 5x + 12 = 24 5x = 24 - 12 = 12 12/5 = 2.4	catspyjamas (15614)
874221	2010-04-08 06:38:00	Peter = x Bill = x + 3 Michael = 3x + 9 5x + 12 = 24 5x = 24 - 12 = 12 12/5 = 2.4 If Peter = x, Bill should = x-3 (as Bill is 3 min faster than Peter) Michael = 3x + 9 -- how did you get this?	bk T (215)
874222	2010-04-08 06:40:00	Michael = 3x + 9 -- how did you get this? Bill = x+3 Michael = 3B, therefore M=3(x+3) Expand: 3x+9 :)	pcuser42 (130)
874223	2010-04-08 06:54:00	Bill = x+3 Michael = 3B, therefore M=3(x+3) Expand: 3x+9 :) I think you got it wrong. Bill ran 3 min faster than Peter, therefore B= x - 3 , if x= Peter. Michael ran 3 times faster than Bill, therefore, 3M=B. You got it the other way round, I think.	bk T (215)
874224	2010-04-08 06:55:00	I think you got it wrong. Bill ran 3 min faster than Peter, therefore B= x - 3 , if x= Peter. Michael ran 3 times faster than Bill, therefore, 3M=B. You got it the other way round, I think. Thought his answer was a bit off...	pcuser42 (130)
