3 * 3 = 9 . builder notation
2/5=w-3/2
remember that to solve we want to isolate 1 w one side by itself
also remember that we can do anything to an equation as long as we do it to both sides (except divide by zero)
2/5=w-3/2
so we add 3/2 to both sides to get rid of the 3/2
2/5+3/2=w+3/2-3/2
2/5+3/2=w+0
2/5+3/2=w
make the bottom numbers the same
the number is 10
2/5 times 2/2=4/10
3/2 times 5/5=15/10
4/10+15/10=w
4/10+15/10=(4+15)/10=(19)/10
w=19/10
so the steps are:
1. add 3/2 to both sides
2. make the denomenators of 2/5 and 3/2 the same so we can add them
Answer: $6472 owed
Step-by-step explanation:
6472.01797 rounded to the nearest cent is just $6472
$3.70d + $5 = $42
So $3.70 per d (d in miles) plus $5 flat rate = $42
so the distance is 10 miles
I hope this helps!
