(6*5) / 3 = w
Sometimes problems will give extra information to figure stuff out, for this problem you really only needed to know three of the numbers, 6, 5 and 3.
Because it is being increased by 2.3 every time.
Answer:
In 30 minutes:
The minute hand moves a distance of 25.13 inches
In 20 minutes:
The minute hand moves a distance of 16.76 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
When 60 minutes are completed, the minute hand of the relog makes a complete revolution. The distance s that the minute hand travels when making a complete revolution is:
Where r is the radius of the circumference, and in this case, the radius of the minute hand.
So:
s = 50.27 inches.
In 30 minutes (which is half of 60) the minute hand covers only half a revolution. Then the distance traveled in 30 minutes is 
inches
In 20 minutes (which is one third of 60) the minute hand only travels a third of a complete revolution. Then the distance traveled in 20 minutes is 
inches
Answer:
<em>2(x - 1) - 1 = 3(x + 1) - 6 - x</em>
<em>There are infinitely many solutions.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
Suppose Nicky was trying to solve the equation
2(x - 1) - 1 = 3(x + 1) - 6 - x
Operating:
2x - 2 - 1 = 3x + 3 - 6 - x
2x - 3 = 2x - 3
Subtracting 2x:
-3 = -3
This equation is true regardless of the value of x, thus x can have any value. There are infinitely many solutions.
The same result could have come with these equations:
4x - 3 = -3 + 4x
4(x - 1) + 1 = 4(x + 1) - 7
