Answer:

x = 2 or just 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 7 + x - 3

x + x = 2x

-7 + (-3) = -10

2x - 10

--------------------

x + x + 12

x + x = 2x

you dont change 12, you keep it the same.

--------------------------------------------------------------

2x - 10 + 2x + 12

2x + 2x = 4x

-10 + 12 = 2

12 is greater so it is positive.

-----------------------------------------

2 + 4x

you have to get rid of the 4 so divide on both sides of the equation.

4x/4 = x

when you divide a number by the same number, it cancels itself out so then

4x is just left with x.

4/2 = 2

so [x = 2]

Hannah drove 310 miles in 5 hours ,while tom drove 177 miles in 3 hours .which of them drove faster ?
vlada-n [284]
First off you need to make a equation with 310/5 = 177/3

you then divided 310 by 5 and 177 by 3
310 divided by 5 = 62
177 divided by 3 = 59

the answer you get represents how many miles they traveled per hour.

Hannah drive faster.

DaniilM [7]

Answer: The required exponential model is 1804(1.04)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial cases = 1804

Rate of growth = 4%

Since it is increasing exponentially,

So, it becomes,

A=ab^t

Here, a = 1804

b = 1+r=1+0.04=1.04

So, it becomes,

A=1804(1.04)^t

Hence, the required exponential model is 1804(1.04)^t
