To solve this question, we can start to set up an equation using what the question is telling us. Since we don't know what the number is, let's make it equal to x.
The phrase "5 times a number" means that we're multiplying our unknown, x, by 5. That is equal to 5x. 9 less than that would be 5x - 9. Since we know that it's equal to -30, we can solve.
5x - 9 = -30
Get all terms with x on one side and the constants on the other
5x - 9 +9 = -30 + 9
Simplify
5x = -21
Now, we can divide both sides by 5 to get our answer of x = -

4 hours and 31 minutes = 240 + 31 = 271 minutes
Answer:
b = 3w; 54
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the student reads 3 books in one week, we know that one book is three times the amount of weeks, or b = 3w
We can plug in 18 for w to find how many books are read in 18 weeks
b = 3w
b = 3(18)
b = 54
So after 18 weeks she has read 54 books

Answer:
1.) 2x-y=-7 --> y=2x + 7
2.) 5x+3y=12 --> y= -5/3x + 4
3.) x-y=1 --> y= x- 1
4.) x-3y=-15 --> y=1/3x + 5
5.) 8x-10y=20 --> y=4/5x - 2
6.) 14x+6y=36 --> y=-7/3x+6
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helped.
