What is the solution of the equation 1.6m - 4.8 = -1.6m

1 answer:

6 0

Solve for m:
1.6 m - 4.8 = -1.6 m

Add 1.6 m to both sides:
1.6 m + 1.6 m - 4.8 = 1.6 m - 1.6 m

1.6 m - 1.6 m = 0:
1.6 m + 1.6 m - 4.8 = 0

1.6 m + 1.6 m = 3.2 m:
3.2 m - 4.8 = 0

Add 4.8 to both sides:
3.2 m + (-4.8 + 4.8) = 4.8

4.8 - 4.8 = 0:
3.2 m = 4.8

Divide both sides of 3.2 m = 4.8 by 3.2:
(3.2 m)/3.2 = 4.8/3.2

3.2/3.2 = 1:
m = 4.8/3.2

4.8/3.2 ≈ 1.5:
Answer: m ≈ 1.5

Two trains leave stations 360 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 70 miles per hour

cricket20 [7]

S=d/t   ⇒d=s*t
s=speed
d=distance
t=time

The first train :
d=x

x=70 miles/h*t   ⇒ x=70t (1)

The second train
d=360 miles - x

360 miles - x=80 miles/h*t ⇒360-x=80t   ⇒ x=360-80t (2)

therefore, with the equations (1) and (2) we have a systeme of equations:

x=70t
x=360-80t

we can solve this system of equations by equalization method.

70t=360-80t
70t+80t=360
150t=360
t=360/150=2.4 (≈2 hour 24 minutes)

Answer: the first train meet with the second train in 2 hour 24 minutes.
