Answer:
15 times 2 - 26 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
Warren drives half the distance Kendall drives to work. Kendall drives 26 more miles to work than Joe. Warren drives 15 miles. Write an equation that models this situation. Use x to represent the number of miles Joe drives to work.
W X 1/2 = K
K - 26 = J
so 15 times 2 - 26 = x
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an isosceles triangle since the base angles are congruent.
If we know it's an isosceles triangle then we know that the legs of it are congruent.
9x - 8 = 28
9x = 36
x = 4
Answer:
a) $1920, b) $2880, c) $4320, d) $6720
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Interest = Principal(Rate)(time)/100
Interest = $8000(12)(2)/100
Interest = $1,920
b) Interest = $8000(3)(12)/100
Interest = $2880
c) Interest = $8000(4.5)(12)/100
Interest = $4320
d) Interest = $8000(7)(12)/100
Interest = $6720
Answer:
About 95 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a proportion using the following set up:
miles / gallons = miles / gallons
We know the car can travel 38 miles on 2.4 gallons of gas.
38 miles / 2.4 gallons = miles/ gallons
We don't know how far the car can travel on 6 gallons. Therefore, we can say the car travels x miles on 6 gallons of gas.
38 miles / 2.4 gallons = x miles /6 gallons
38/2.4=x/6
We want to find x (miles for 6 gallons). Therefore, we must isolate x.
x is being divided by 6. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 6.
6*(38/2.4)=(x/6)*6
6*(38/2.4)=x
6*15.8333333=x
94.9999998=x
Let's round to the nearest whole number. The 9 in the tenth place tells us to round up.
95 ≈x
x ≈95 miles
The car can travel about 95 miles on 6 gallons of gas.
