The sum of 14 and a number is 14+x
we know that this equals 17, so: 14+x=17.
Let's substract 14 from both sides:
x=17-14
x=3
so the number is 3.
Answer:
1) 100 ) 15
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 30 to 50 is 20 miles so 5 * 20 is 100
2)20 to 50 is 30 miles so its 150 and 15 to 20 is 5 so 11 *5 is 55
55+150 equals 250 so the answer is 15 miles.
Answer:
AB = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
A is between B and C. If BC= 8x + 5, AB= 2x + 4, and AC= 3x + 7, then find AB
Step 1
Find x
BC = AB + AC
8x + 5 = 2x + 4 + 3x + 7
Collect like terms
8x - 2x - 3x = +4 + 7 - 5
3x = 6
x = 2
Step 2
Find AB
= AB= 2x + 4
AB = 2(2) + 4
AB = 4 + 4
AB = 8
