let x = the distance from Delany's house to the mall
so half the distance would be 1/2x
then it is 5 miles less than that so you would subtract 5 to give you 1/2x-5
and that is more than 6 miles so you get 1/2x-5>6
1. Cross multiply
35x = 5(11)
35x = 55
Divide both sides by 35
x = 55/35
x = 11/7
2. (x - 2)/x = 3/8
Cross multiply
3x = 8(x - 2)
3x = 8x - 16
Subtract 8x from both sides
-5x = -16
divide both sides by -5
x = -16/-5
x = 16/5 OR 3 1/5
3. (a + 1)/(a - 1) = 5/6
cross multiply
6(a + 1) = 5(a - 1)
distribute
6a + 6 = 5a - 5
subtract 5a from both sides
a + 6 = -5
subtract 6 from both sides
a = -11
4. (1/3)x - 4 = (2/3)x + 6
multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions
x - 12 = 2x + 18
subtract x from both sides
-12 = x + 18
subtract 18 from both sides
-30 = x
There are 2,000 fifties in one hundred thousand
Answer:
We have 7 complete teams
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we have students preparing to make a team of 8 students per team. We now want to know how many complete teams they can make if they are a total of 60;
To get this, we need the multiples of 8;
we have;
8, 16 , 24 , 32, 40 , 48 , 56
So breaking it in 8s, we have;
8 8 8 8 8 8 8
We have 7 8s;
So there would be four left overs
