The answer is (-7.5, -7.5)
1. Let x be the original amount of baseball cards,
2. half of x was lost so x divided by 2.
3. you buy 18 cards to replace some that were lost
4. You can find the awnser by subtracting 18 from 30, which is 12.
5. Now lets remember that half of your cards were lost. meaning that 12 is only half of what you started with.
6. 12 times 2 would be 24.
7. The Awnser is 24
8. To check your work, you can say x=24, 24 divided by 2 is 12, and 12 plus 18 is 30.
Answer:
(i think) 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
If you replace y with the equation y=2x-3, you get 5(2x - 3)
if you distribute this, it equals 10x - 15
combining like terms 10x + 10x - 15=15 will turn into 20x - 15 = 15
if you add 15 to both sides, -15 will cancel and 15 will turn into 30
20x = 30
divide both sides by 20 which will lead to x=1.5
Answer:
It takes 30 minutes
Step By Step:
The rate of Glenn in finishing a job would be equivalent to:
Rate (G) = 1
job / 20 minutes
While the rate of Veronika is:
Rate (V) = 1
job / x---> x is the unknown
Where 1 job for Glenn means completely cleaning his room while 1 job for Veronika means pulling out everything. Therefore the equation to use would be:
1 / 20 – 1 /
x = 1 / 60
The rate of
Veronika is subtracted from the rate of Glenn since Veronika is slowing Glenn
down. Solving for x:
Multiply both
sides by 60 x
(1 / 20 – 1 /
x = 1 / 60) * 60 x
3 x – 60 = x
2 x = 60
x = 30
Therefore it
takes 30 minutes for Veronika to pull everything out.
