Step-by-step explanation:
x= -2,
(x - 5) / 2= -6
( (-2) - 5) / 2= -6
(-7) / 2 = -6
-3.5 = - 6
right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -2 cannot exist for this equation.
x=2,
(x - 5) / 2= -6
(2 - 5) / 2= -6
(-3) / 2= -6
-1.5 = - 6
right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= 2 cannot exist for this equation.
x= -17
(x - 5) / 2= -6
( ( -17) - 5) / 2= -6
(- 22) / 2= -6
-11 = -6
right hand side not equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -17 cannot exist for this equation.
x= -7,
(x - 5) / 2= -6
( ( -7) -5) / 2= -6
(-12) / 2= -6
-6= -6
right hand side equal to left hand side of this equation.so,x= -7 exist for this equation.
23. Kim and Jay leave at the same time to travel 25 miles going to the beach.
Kim drives 9 miles in 12 minutes
Jay drives 10 miles in 15 minutes.
Question: who will arrive first?
Unit rate of Kim
=> 9 miles in 12 minutes
=> 0.75 miles / minutes
=> 25 / 0.75
It will take 33.33 minutes for Kim to arrive
Unit rate of Jay
10 miles in 15 minutes.
=> 10 miles /15 minutes
=> 0.67 miles /minute
=> 25 / 0.67
It will take Jay 37.31 minutes to arrive at the beach.
SO Kim will arrive first
Answer: 3:4
Step-by-step explanation: because the ratio of a :b is 2:3 which means b is 3 . And the ratio of a:c is 3 :4 which means c is 4.
And 3:4 is in simplest form .
Hope it helps.
