Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

6 = 1 + -2n + 5

Reorder the terms:

6 = 1 + 5 + -2n

Combine like terms: 1 + 5 = 6

6 = 6 + -2n

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 = 6 + -6 + -2n

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 = 6 + -6 + -2n

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 = 0 + -2n

0 = -2n

Solving

0 = -2n

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2n' to each side of the equation.

0 + 2n = -2n + 2n

Remove the zero:

2n = -2n + 2n

Combine like terms: -2n + 2n = 0

2n = 0

Divide each side by '2'.

n = 0

Simplifying

n = 0

Rosita can wax her car in 2 hours or 120 minutes. When she works together with Helga, they can wax the car in 45 minutes. How lo

Mashcka [7]

<h2>Time taken by Helga to wax the car is 72 minutes</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the work of waxing.

Rosita can wax her car in 2 hours or 120 minutes.

Time taken by Rosita = 120 minutes

$\texttt{Rate of Rosita = }\frac{W}{120}$

Let time taken by Helga be t,

$\texttt{Rate of Helga = }\frac{W}{t}$

When she works together with Helga, they can wax the car in 45 minutes.

We have

$\frac{W}{\frac{W}{120}+\frac{W}{t}}=45\\\\120t=45(120+t)\\\\120t=5400+45t\\\\t=72minutes$

Time taken by Helga to wax the car is 72 minutes

The video club to which Lin belongs allows her to receive one free DVD for every three DVDS she rents. If she pays $3 for each D

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

On every 3 DVDs she rents, 1 DVD is received for free

Rent of each DVD = $3

Total amount paid = $114

Now,

The total number of DVDs she took on rent = $\frac{\textup{Total amount paid}}{\textup{Rent of each DVD}}$

The total number of DVDs she took on rent = $\frac{\textup{114}}{\textup{3}}$

The total number of DVDs she took on rent = 38

also,

For every 3 DVDs she gets 1 Free DVD

thus,

For every 1 DVD she gets $\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{3}}$ free DVD

therefore,

For 38 DVD she gets $\frac{\textup{38}}{\textup{3}}$ free DVD

she gets 12.67 DVDs free

Since,

the DVDs cannot be given in fraction

Hence she will get 12 free DVDs

A line passes through the point (0, 0) and has a rise over run ratio of 4/3. Give two other points that the line passes through

Sergio [31]

Answer:

(3,4) and (6,8).

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise is equal to y and run is equal to x. If the fraction is 4/3, y is equal to 4 and 3 is equal to x. 3 across is 3 and 4 upwards is 4. Just keep adding 3,4 to get the following points the line passes through. Since we need two points, 3,4 and 6,8 would be the appropriate answers.

Nina and Jo both ran an 8 km race. Nina took 55 minutes to run the whole race. Jo started the race 3 minutes later than Nina but

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we figure out how fast Nina can run. If Nina can run 8 km in 55 minutes, then her rate is

$\frac{8km}{55min}=.145\frac{km}{min}$ and we can use that in a d = rt table:

d = r * t

Nina .145

Now we can fill in the distance which is 6 for both, since that is the distance where they met:

d = r * t

Nina 6 = .145

Jo 6 =

Now we go to the info given about the time. If Jo started the race 3 minutes after Nina, that means that Nina is running 3 minutes longer than Jo. Filling in the time info:

d = r * t

Nina 6 = .145 * t + 3

Jo 6 = r * t

As you can see, right now we have 2 unknowns in Jo's row. But we don't have to! We will go to Nina's row where the only unknown is time and solve for t. If d = rt, then

6 = .145(t + 3) and

6 = .145t + .435 and

5.55 = .145t so

t = 38.379 minutes. This means that Jo was running 38.379 minutes when she caught up to Nina (it took Nina 3 minutes longer than that to go 6 km since she was already running for 3 minutes when Jo started the race). If Jo's time is 38.379, we can use that in her row for t and solve for r. If d = rt, then

6 = r(38.379) and

r = .16 km/min

Let's check it without the rounding (rounding takes away from the accuracy). If 6 = .145(t + 3) and Nina's rate not rounded is .145454545 and t = 38.37931034, then, rewriting without rounding:

6 should equal .145454545( 38.37931034 + 3)

6 ?=? .145454545(41.37931034)

6 ?=? 6.0 so

Jo's rate is .16 km/min rounded
