Step-by-step explanation:

d = the distance in one direction.

the time t1 it took group 1 was

t1 = d/6 + d/4

and t2 for group 2 moving with speed2 all the way

t2 = (d+d)/speed2

we know

2d = 24 miles

d = 12 miles

t1 = t2

so,

12/6 + 12/4 = 24/speed2

2 + 3 = 24/speed2

5 = 24/ speed2

5×speed2 = 24

speed2 = 24/5 = 4.8 mph

the second group moved with 4.8 mph.

Approximately how much do i save per bottel of juice if i buy a pack of 8 rather than a pack of 6
Korolek [52]

Answer: Your question is missing information but this is what you do to answer your question step by step

B = Cost of 8 pack / 8 bottles  =  $ Cost of 8 pack/ 8 =$ ____ per bottle

A = Cost of 6 pack/ 6 bottles = $ Cost of 6 pack/ 6= $ ____ per bottle

then do a simple subtraction  A -B = savings

Step-by-step explanation:  Information is incomplete

if an 8 pack cost $16

If the 6 pack cost $15

All you do is a simple subtraction after calculations

Cost of 8 pack / 8 bottles  = $16/8 =$2 per bottle

Cost of 6 pack/ 6 bottles = $15/ 6= $2.50 per bottle

in my example  

You would save $ 0.50 per bottle by purchasing the 8 pack

3(7 – 2y) = 9<br><br> Please help. You have to solve it using distributive property. Thank you.
Alja [10]

Answer:

3(7-2y)=9

Because there is no symbol between the 3 and the "(" we can tell that it wants you to multiply.

With the distributive property you must distribute the 3 within (7-2y)

To that you would multiply 7 by 3, and multiply -2y by 3. This would get you:

21-6y=9

To get y you must isolate it, the first step to isolate it is remove the number with no "y" next to it. Which is "21" Also for further problems your way, You should add/subtract/divide/multiple the number that does not have the same or even a variable as the variable you are trying to find to the other side.

In this case it would be subtracting 21 from the left side and subtracting it to the right side which would give us: 6y=-12

(Because there was already a number with no variable: "9" you will subtract 21 from 9 which is why you get -12).

Next you will further isolate the y by removing the -6. "-6y" means -6 multiplied by y. So you will divide -6 from the left side AND the right side.

-6y ÷ -6 = y ; -12 ÷ -6 = 2

y=2

More tips: When you are moving something to the other side always do the opposite to remove it from one side and move it to the other. Example: -12 + y = 5

You want to move the -12 to the right side. So you need to remove "-12" from the left side by ADDING 12 because -12 + 12 = 0.

Now you simply add it to the right.

Another example: 4y = 8

Because 4y is multiplication (4 times y) you must divide it from each side to isolate the y! : y=2

If you divide a number from the left side, you must also divide it from the right side. If you add a number on the left side, you must also add it on the right side. Same goes for subtraction and multiplication. Think like that!
