Answer:

5x - 6 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We know that we don't know the actual number. We can use x to sub in for that number.

2. We also know that the equivalent eventually gets us to 8, so write:

  • x=8

3. The equation multiplies the number by 5, and then subtracts 6. It must be in this order because of PEMDAS. Write like so:

  • 5x- 6 = 8

You could solve it too, if you like:

  1. 5x = 8+6
  2. 5x = 14
  3. x = 14/5
  4. x= 2.8

Then feel free to check your answer, substituting 2.8 for x:

  1. 5(2.8) - 6 = 8
  2. 14 - 6 = 8
  3. 8 = 8

Hope that helped

30% of Number A is the same as 40% of Number B.
Goryan [66]

30% of number A means

\dfrac{30A}{100}=\dfrac{3A}{10}

similarly, 40% of number B means

\dfrac{40B}{100}=\dfrac{2B}{5}

These must be equal, so we have

\dfrac{3A}{10}=\dfrac{2B}{5}

Multiply both sides by 10 to get

3A=4B \iff A=\dfrac{4B}{3}

So, you can choose any number for A, and then you multiply it by 4/3 to get B. There are infinitely many solutions to this equation.

How do you do this problem?
vivado [14]
The ratio given is 4:5 so you do 5divided by 20 which is 4 and multiply 4 and 4 and get 16 so your ratio is 16:20

A fish swims at a speed of 12 miles per hour. A boy swims at a speed of 4.4 feet per second. 3 ft = 1 yd 5280 ft = 1 mi How much
just olya [345]
You'll need to convert both speeds into yards per minute.

12 mph = 12 mph     1760 yd    60 min
                ---------- * ------------ * ----------
                  1 mile       1 hr

Note that "miles" cancels.  So does "hours."  Finish this work.

Then convert   4.4 ft/sec into yards per minute.

Then, finally, compare your two rates via subtraction of the smaller from the larger.
