A variable is an unknown like x so
first we start with
x=8
then we subtract (because you must add to reverse subtraction)
x-2=8-2
x-2=6
then we divide ( because you must multiply to reverse division)
(x-2)/3=6/3
(x-2)/3=2
find x
Answer:
If x + 9 = 5 then x =-
4
If x + 9 = -5 then x =-14
Step-by-step explanation:
x+9 =5
Subtract 9 from each side
x+9-9 = 5-9
x = -4
x+9 = -5
Subtract 9 from each side
x+9-9=-5-9
x = -14
What are you trying to ask ??
Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
(16-2w)^2 + (3y÷3z)
Let w=5 y=9 and z=3
(16-2*5)^2 + (3*9÷3*3)
PEMDAS says parentheses first
Multiply and divide in the parentheses
(16-10)^2 + (27÷9)
Then add and subtract in the parentheses
(6)^2 + (3)
Now the exponent
36 +3
39
Answer:
40 km on the highway
30 km on the city roads
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = highway
Let y = city road
The time formula: time = distance / speed.
1) Since we do not know the distance travelled on the highway and city roads but we do know the total time taken, we can say x + y = 70. Set the distances x and y and all equated to 2 hours, since we do not know them, nor do we know the time. This is called a system of equations.
x + y = 70
x/80 + y/20 = 2
2) Solve the system of equations using substitution.
x = 70 - y
---------------
70 - y/80 + y/20 = 2
70 + 3y/80 = 2
y = 30
---------------------------------
x + 30 = 70
x = 70 - 30
x = 40
Therefore, the delivery truck travelled 40 km on the highway and 30 km on the city roads.
