Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 48 x 5= 240
2. James minutes- 48 Alisa's- 240
3. 48 + 240 = 288
Equation: 48 + 5 (48)= 288
A represents the speed of the aircraft.
b represents the speed of the bus.
a=2b-5
114/b=218/a
Substitution method
114/b=218/(2b-5)
(2b-5)*(114/b)= 218
(228b-570)/b = 218
228b-570= 218b
228b-218b=570
10b= 570
b=57
Plug the value of b into one of the original equations.
a=2(57)-5
a=114-5
a=109
Final answer:
Average speed of plane= 109
Average speed of bus= 57
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
First, we need to to multiply out the parathesis in the equation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10
Next, we can combine "like terms" to simplify the equation further:
5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10
7x - 8 = 6x - 10
Now we can isolate the variable "x" to one side:
7x - 8 = 6x - 10
x - 8 = -10
x = -2
To check our work, we can replace x with -2 in our original equation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
5(-2) + 2 (-2 - 4) = 5(-2) + -2 - 10
-10 + 2 (-6) = -10 -2 - 10
-22 = -22
I hope this helps!
