Look at the picture.
Therefore we have the equation:
10y - 29 = 7y + 19 <em>add 29 to both sides</em>
10y = 7y + 48 <em>subtract 7y from both sides</em>
3y = 48 <em>divide both sides by 3</em>
y = 16
3x + 7 = 5x - 21 <em>subtract 7 from both sides</em>
3x = 5x = -28 <em>subtract 5x from both sides</em>
-2x = -28 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>
x = 14
Answer:
Lionel = (1/3)(6 lengths)
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement tells us that Lionel swam 1/3 as far as the 6 lengths that Miguel swam. Lionel's distance can be found from the equation ...
Lionel = (1/3)(6 lengths)
I'm sorry, I can't show much working for this, I just pictured it. Let me know if you need to see working:
(6r - x)(2r + 5y)
