2x + 5 = 8x

subtract 2x from both sides

2x (-2x) + 5 = 8x (-2x)

5 = 6x
5/6 = 6x/6

x = 5/6

12x = ?

plug in x

12(5/6) = (12(5))/6

12(5) = 60

60/6 = 10

12x = 10

hope this helps

a red car is traveling 15 miles per hour faster than a blue car. if the red car travels 180 miles in the time needed for the blu

vlabodo [156]

Their distance differs by 15 miles for each hour of travel time. Thus, the travel time of interest is
.. (180 -144) miles/(15 miles/hour) = 2.4 hour

The red car's speed is 180 mi/(2.4 h) = 75 mi/h.
The blue car's speed is 144 mi/(2.4 h) = 60 mi/h.

The mr William two questions please!

well, in short, the students and chaperones are at a 2 : 9 ratio, and we know there are 171 students, how many chaperones then, so long they maintain a 2:9 ratio?

$\bf \cfrac{chaperones}{students}\qquad 2:9\qquad \cfrac{2}{9}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{x}{171}=\cfrac{2}{9}\implies 9x=2(171) \\\\\\ 9x=342\implies x=\cfrac{342}{9}\implies x=38$
