If you take 230 subtract from 180 you will get 50 so the price for adult tickets are $50
|4x-9|=5x
subtract 4 to both sides
and that will give you
|-9|=x then the 9 turns positive because of the brackets
9=X
Answer:
2 000 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first year, Mr James travels 8 x
miles = 8 000 miles.
The second year, he traveled 1 x
miles = 10 000 miles.
Comparing the distance covered in the two years,
10 000 miles - 8 000 miles = 2 000 miles
Therefore, Mr James travels 2 000 more miles in the second year than he did the first year.
Let's assume that Mr James conveys himself to his place of work all through the first year in his private car. But in the second year, there were some days in which the car was not available. So he had to go for his job by public transportation. This itch during those days, could cause an increase in the distance covered from his home to his place of work for the second year.
I think this is what it's asking for...
a) 17 is the total amount ran
5 is the number of miles
x is the hours (which is unknown)
you have to find x. the problem says that there are 5 miles per hour so your x would go with your 5. the 17 stays on the opposite side of the =
17=5x
b) to find the amount of time (x) just solve for x
17=5x is your equation
you now have to isolate the x (do this by dividing 5 on both sides of the equation)
5/x= x alone
17/5=3.4
3.4=x
* remember that x is hours in this problem, so round if you need too
