Answer:
d. 72
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x:
1) Group the x terms together on the left: ax - bx - c = d
2) Group the constant terms together: ax - bx = c + d
3) factor out x: x(a - b) = c + d
4) Divide both sides of the equation by (a - b) to obtain a formula for x:
c+d
</span> x(a - b) = c + d => x = ---------
a-b
This shows that the given equation CAN be solved for x, but there is a restriction: a must NOT equal b, because if a-b = 0, we'd have division by zero (which is not defined).
Where is Victoria's solution? Please share it if you want to discuss this problem further. Thank you.
Alright, so we know that there are 7 days a week with 24 hours per day.
24x7= 168 hours a week.
Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.
Let's take the 40% that is Sleep and use it in the percentage formula with the 168 hours.
40%x168= roughly 67 hours.
Hope this helped!
The answer is possibly 5x=5. Or x=1.
