Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
two step equation
n - 5/2 = 5
n = 5 + 5/2
n = 5 + 2.5
n = 7.5
-----------
check
7.5 - 5/2 = 5
7.5 - 2.5 = 5
5 = 5
the answer is good
She mows 1/2 an acre per hour
Simplify both sides of the equation
x/16−(x+2/8) = 2x/16 + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2
Distribute
1/16x + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2
(1/16x + −1/8x)+(−1/4) = 2
Combine Like Terms
−1/16x + −1/4 = 2
Add 1/4 to both sides.
−1/16x + −1/4 + 1/4 = 2 + 1/4
−1/16x = 9/4
Multiply both sides by 16/(-1).
(16/−1)*(−1/16x)=(16/−1)*(9/4)
x=−36
Recall that distance = speed times time. Thus, time = distance / speed.
Here:
time = distance / speed = 0.8 km / 12 km/hr = 1/15 hr.
Note that 1/15 hr = 1/15 (60 min) = 4 minutes
