Time taken to reach Tamara



[tex]=10x-3[/tex]


Time taken to reach Northvile



[tex]=5x+7[/tex]


Difference in time

Time taken to reach Tamara minus time taken to reach Northvile



[tex]=10x-3-(5x+7)[/tex]

We expand brackets to obtain,


[tex]=10x-3-5x-7[/tex]


Regroup like terms on the right side of the equation to get;

[tex]=10x-5x-3-7[/tex]


We simplify to obtain,


[tex]=5x-10[/tex]

Hence the difference in length of travel time is  [tex]5x-10[/tex] minutes.
