Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Total distance covered by Musa in 2 hrs
= x + 10 + 5x
= 6x + 10
Ngozi = 118 km
If they are equal, 6x + 10 = 118
but 6x + 10 < 118
6x < 108
= x < 18
0 < x < 18 = 0 \(\leq\) x < 18
Total distance covered by Musa in 2 hrs
= x + 10 + 5x
= 6x + 10
Ngozi = 118 km
If they are equal, 6x + 10 = 118
but 6x + 10 < 118
6x < 108
= x < 18
0 < x < 18 = 0 \(\leq\) x < 18
