Gary is 25 years old. That is 7 more than
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

2<em>x </em>+ 7 = 25

<em>x </em>= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Gary: 25

Sean: <em>x</em>

----------------------------

Let's break down the sentence into mathematical terms

Gary <u>is</u> 25 years old. That <u>is</u> 7 more than twice <u>Sean's age.</u>

In math, is means equal to. It is represented with an equal sign (=)

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 more than twice <u>Sean's age.</u>

7 more is represented by 7 +

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 + than twice <u>Sean's age.</u>

Twice means double which is 2 ·

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 + 2 · <u>Sean's Age</u>

<u>Sean's Age</u> will be represented by <em>x</em>

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 + 2<em>x</em>

We don't need it to say<em> "Gary = 25" </em>in our equation.

25 = 7 + 2<em>x</em>

Let's rewrite it with the associative property.

2<em>x </em>+ 7 = 25

---------------------

Now, solve

2<em>x </em>+ 7 = 25

<em>-7           -7</em>

2<em>x</em> = 18

<em>÷</em><em>2  </em><em>÷</em><em>2</em>

<em>x </em>= 7

----------------------

Sean is 7 years old.

How long would it take an ant to run from Los Angeles to New York City?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

2 Years, 9 Months, 3 Weeks, 5 Days and 1 Hour

Step-by-step explanation:

2,798.5 miles from L.A. to New York, an ant travels at 3 inches a second, we multiply 3 by 60 to get 120 inches a minute convert that into feet to get 10 feet, now multiply that by another 60 to get 600 feet an hour now multiply 600 by 24 to get 14,400 feet a day convert that into miles to get  2.72 miles a day now take 2.72 miles and divide that by the distance between the 2 cities to get about 1030 days, now if we put that into years, months, weeks, days and hours we get 2 Years, 9 Months, 3 Weeks, 5 Days and 1 Hour

write and equation of the line parallel to the line  2 x + 4 y = 20 2 x + 4 y = 20 and containing the point  ( −
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents the slope of the line

c represents the y intercept

The equation of the given line is

2x + 4y = 20

4y = - 2x + 20

Dividing through by 4, it becomes

y = - x/2 + 5

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 1/2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 6, 3) is - 1/2

To determine the y intercept, we would substitute m = - 1/2, x = - 6 and y = 3 into y = mx + c. It becomes

3 = - 1/2 × - 6 + c

3 = 3 + c

c = 3 - 3 = 0

The equation becomes

y = - x/2
