Distance = rate*time

Let distance from X to Y be 'd' 

From the equation we can solve for 'time'

time = distance/rate

The total time it takes to go 50 mph ,then 40 mph is:

\frac{d}{50} + \frac{d}{40}

The total time it takes to go 45 mph round trip is:

\frac{2d}{45}

We know that the round-trip at 45 mph takes half-hour shorter, so by adding '1/2' to its time it will be equal to the time to go 50 then 40.

\frac{2d}{45} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{d}{50} + \frac{d}{40} \\  \\ \frac{4d+45}{90} = \frac{9d}{200} \\  \\ 800d+9000 = 810d \\  \\ 10d = 9000 \\  \\ d = 900

Answer: The distance from X to Y is 900 miles.

Emily wants to watch her intake of fat per day.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

One variable equation that is (4800/x) represents percentage of Emily's dinner fat intake compared to total daily allowance of x gram.

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume the variable for total daily allowance

lets say total daily allowance of fat = x grams

Fat consumed at dinner = 48 grams

Fat consumed at dinner in percentage = (Fat consumed at dinner/total daily allowance of fat) × 100

= (48 grams/x grams)×100=(4800/x)%

so (4800/x)%  

So one variable equation that is (4800/x) represents percentage of Emily's dinner fat intake compared to total daily allowance of x gram.

lets take one example

lets says total daily allowance of fat for Emily = 100gm

so from derived equation that is 4800/x , we can get required percentage by putting x =  total daily allowance of fat = 100gm

=4800/100 = 48%.

you can change value of variable x according to total daily allowance and get the required dinner intake percentage by equation 4800/x.

You do 9x27=243 then take 2x31=62 add 243+62=305 then take 305 and subtract it from 28 305-28=277 
so if i did it right you should get n=277
