Set like terms on each side by adding six to the first side and subtracting 1/2x from the first side. this gives you 9<1.5x. divide both sides by 1.5 to get 66. the answer is 4) x>6
The question given above may be answered through the concept of ratio and proportion. The ratio of the man's weight on Earth and Mars should be equal to the ratio of the rock's weight on Earth and Mars. By letting x be the rock's mas on Earth, the equation that would best represent the situation is,
180 / 72 = x / 16
The value of x is equal to 40. Thus, the rock weighs 40 pounds on Earth.
31.6-4.2=27.4 at last visit
It should be y=19/8.
Is it multiple choice.
