Divide both sides by -2
two negatives make a positive and that's true so x = 16/2 so divide it
x = 8 because 2 x 8 = 16 and 2/16 = 8 so true.
Answer: x = 8.
Answer:
12x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter= 2l+2w
=2(x+4)+2(5x-7)
=2x+8+10x-14
=12x-6
Corresponding sides have the same ratio, so
x/15 = 12/(12+8) = 3/5
x = 15*3/5
x = 9
Answer:
1.5hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly in this question, we convert the time given to minutes.
Using the conversion of 60 seconds make a minute, we have 3/4 hours as 3/4 * 60 = 45 minutes. Let’s add this to a total of 3 hours which is 180 minutes. This gives a total of 225 minutes.
Now, we are told that he spends 2/5 of his time lifting weight. This is equivalent to 2/5 * 225 = 90 minutes
We convert this to hour = 90/60 = 1.5 hours
