Answer:
x=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
I always change the decimals into whole numbers by multiplying them by 10. If you do this, it is much easier to solve. All you do is multiply every term by 10.
the equation changes to
-5(x+3)-2x=41
-5x-15-2x=41
combine like terms
-7x-15=41
bring the 15 over to the 41
-7x=56
divide everything by 7
-x=8
change x to a positive
x=-8
Answer:
0.6 km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed downstream: 13/5= 2.6 km/hr
Speed upstream: 7/5= 1.4 km/hr
Therefore, Velocity of current is: 1/2 (2.6-1.4) km/hr = 1/2(1.2) km/hr
Because if the number was rational then we can tell by looking at the numbers. The rational number should be one number or a repeating decimal or terminating number. plus because if a number was like this 5.7696... that means its irrational because we dont know the end of the number. The rational numbers are terminating numbers or either decimal or repeating numbers because we know the end of those numbers.
