Answer:

13 over 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi Jakeyriabryant! I hope you’re fine!

I hope I have understood the problem well.

If so, what the exercise raises is the following equality:

(x-1) / 5 = 2/3

From this equation you must clear the "x".

First, we pass the 5 that is dividing on the side of the x, to the other side and passes multiplying

(X – 1) / 5 = 2/3  

(X – 1) = (2/3)*5

X – 1 = 10/3

Then we pass the one that is subtracting from the side of the x, to the other side and passes adding

X  = 10/3 + 1

Remember that to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator or a common denominator (in this case we can write 1 as fraction 3/3). Then,

X = 10/3 + 3/3

X = 13/3

I hope I've been helpful!

Regards!

Corey is out on the roads doing a long run, and also doing some mental calculations at the same time. corey's pace is 3 strides
amm1812
A. 352 seconds or 5 minutes 52 seconds.
B. 320 seconds or 5 minutes and 20 seconds  
C. 27687 steps
There are 5280 feet per mile. In A, 3 strides per second at 5 feet gives us 15 ft per second. 5280/15 = 352 seconds. In B, 3 strides per second at 5.5 feet gives us 16.5 feet per second. 5280/16.5 = 320 seconds. In C, we calculate the total feet to divide by 5 per step. multiply 26 miles by 5280 to get feet per mile and multiply 385 by 3 to get the feet per yard. Add them together. then divide by 5. 26(5280) + 385(3) =138435. 138435/5 = 27687 steps

Write an expression that represents n plus 7 multiplied by 3.
diamong [38]
The <span>expression that represents n plus 7 multiplied by 3 is
(n + 7)(3)
The entire expression, (n + 7) is multiplied by 3 since it would be inconvenient to state the expression as given above if what is meant was
(n + 7x3). It would have simply been n plus 21.</span>
