180 + 30x = 60 + 50x
⇒ 20x = 120
⇒ x = 6 minutes

Answer:
-0.42
Step-by-step explanation:
(2/3)x+4= 7
Subtract 4 from both sides
(2/3)x= 3
Divide both sides by 2/3. To divide by a fraction, multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second.
3*3/2= 9/2
Final answer: 9/2 or 4.5
The horizontal distance is the difference of x-coordinates: 6 - 4 = 2.
The vertical distance is the difference of y-coordinates: -1 - (-2) = 1.
The straight-line distance (d) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, since the vertical and horizontal distances are at right angles to each other.
.. d² = 2² + 1² = 5
.. d = √5 ≈ 2.2
The distance UV is about 2.2.
