X = additional mile

0.85x + 1.65 = 20

to solve it:
subtract 1.65 from both sides. afterwards, divide both sides by 0.85 to find x!

A recipe for brownies calls for 4 cups of flour to 6 cups of sugar how many cups of sugar per cup of flour does the recipe requi
Andrews [41]

So, we have 4 cups of flour and 6 cups of sugar and we need to know how many cups of sugar per cup of flour does the recipe require. Because it is requested to know how many cups of sugar per cup of flour does the recipe require, we need to divide the amount of flour and sugar by the amount of flour, and we will know what we need to know.

4 cups of flour / 4 = 1 cup flour

6 cups of sugar / 4 = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1 1/2 cups of sugar per cup of flour is the solution

A boat takes 3.6 h to travel downstream from its dock to a fishing hole. If the water were still, it would have taken 4.5 h to m
salantis [7]
Given:

t1 = 3.6 h
t2 = 4.5 h
x = speed of boat
y = speed of water

Required:
a) Expression of distance traveled with moving water with 3.6h
     Expression of distance traveled with moving water with 4.5h
b) Solve for y
c) Percent of boat's speed is the water current

Solution:

Working formula: 
distance = velocity*time

a) For travelling downstream, we get the equation

d = (x +y)*3.6

For travelling upstream, we get the equation

d = (x-y)*4.5

b) Setting the distance as equal for travelling upstream or downstream, we arrive at the equation of

(x+y)*3.6 = (x-y)*4.5
3.6x + 3.6y = 4.5x - 4.5y
8.1y =0.9x
y = x/9

c) percentage = 1/9*100% = 11.1%

<em>ANSWERS: a) d = (x+y)*36; d = (x-y)*4.5
</em>
                     <em>b) y = x/9
</em>                     <em>c) 11.1%</em>

Pls help will give brainliest
lana [24]

Answer: The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation: 122 >7 (z+8) -5 (6+z). Then switch them, 7 (z+8) -5 (6+z) <122. Expanded:  7 (z+8) -5 (6+z) <122:v 2z+26

2z+26<122, subtract 26 from both sides: 2z+26-26<122-26

Simplify: 2z<96, divide both sides by 2: 2z over 2 < 96 over 2

and finally simplified: Z<48

HOPE THIS HELPED YOU OUT!

Find the solution of this system of equations<br> 4x - 5y = -12<br> -X + 5y = 18
Natalka [10]

4x - 5y = -12

-x + 5y = 18

Add the equations together:

4x + -x = 3x

-5y + 5y = 0

-12 + 18 = 6

So now you have:

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 2

Now you have the value of x, replace x with 2 in one of the equations and solve for y:

4(2) -5y = -12

8 -5y = -12

Subtract 8 from both sides:

-5y = -20

Divide both sides by -5:

Y = 4

The solution is x = 2 and y = 4 which is written as (2,4)

FIND THE VALUEOF THE VARIBLE AND FILL THE BLANK.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

f = 2

g = 8

h = -9

k = 40

m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1:

23f - 17 = 29

Add 17 to both sides. This undoes the -17.

23f = 29 + 17

Add 17 to 29 to get 46.

23f = 46

Divide both sides by 23. This undoes the multiplication by 23.

f = 46/23

Divide 46 by 23 to get 2.

f = 2

Equation 2:

2(3g + 4) = 56

Divide both sides by 2. This undoes the multiplication by 2.

3g + 4 = 56/2

Divide 56 by 2 to get 28.

3g + 4 = 28

Subtract 4 from both sides. This undoes the +4.

3g = 28 - 4

Subtract 4 from 28 to get 24.

3g = 24

Divide both sides by 3. This undoes the multiplication by 3.

g = 24/3

Divide 24 by 3 to get 8.

g = 8

Equation 3:

h + 9 = 0

Subtract 9 from both sides. This undoes the +9.

h = 0 - 9

Any number subtracted from 0 gives its negation.

h = -9

Equation 4

3(k - 8) = 96

Divide both sides by 3. This undoes the multiplication by 3.

k - 8 = 96/3

Divide 96 by 3 to get 32.

k - 8 = 32

Add 8 to both sides. This undoes the -8.

k = 32 + 8

Add 8 to 32 to get 40.

k = 40

Equation 5:

5m - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides. This undoes the -5

5m = 0 + 5

Anything plus 0 gives itself.

5m = 5

Divide both sides by 5. This undoes the multiplication by 5

m = 5/5

Anything divided by itself gives you 1.

m = 1
