405 because 120+50+65=405
The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable.
We have then:
x: number of years before the Russo-Japanese conflict began
We write now the inequality that models the problem.
We know that the conflict began in the year 1904, therefore, all the previous years are given by:
x <1904
Answer:
an inequality in terms of x and 1904 that is true only for values of x that represent years before the start of the Russo-Japanese War is:
x <1904
Let the speed for the first 12 mi be x mi/h, the speed for 18 mi was (x+4) mi/h
thus given that
time=distance/speed
the average time will be:
3=(12+18)/(x+x+4)
3=30/(2x+4)
solving for x we get
3(2x+4)=30
6x+6=30
6x=24
x=4 mi/hr
Answer: 12 mi/hr
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>The correct question is</u></em>
The sum of three consecutive even integers is -72. what are the three numbers
Let
x ----> the first consecutive even integer
x+2 ----> the second consecutive even integer
x+4 ----> the third consecutive even integer
we know that
solve for x
so
therefore
the numbers are
