What is the answer to 2(x-4)=-3(x+2)?

First distribute:

2*x = 2x

2*-4 = -8

-3*x = -3x

-3*2 = -6

2x-8=-3x-6

Add 8 to both sides (or vise versa add 6 to both sides). You're adding because both the 8 and 6 are negative.

2x=-3x+2

Now add 3x on both sides (or vice versa subtract 2 on both sides).

5x = 2

Now divide. 5x/5 = 2/5

The 5s get canceled out leaving you with x = 2/5.

A time/motion word problem
andriy [413]
The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.

After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.

Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==>    A² + B² = C²

(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²

250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500

1,690,000 H² = 422,500

H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25

H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes

What is the ratio of the two values and what new value do they produce? $280 in 7m
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The ratio between two values A and B is just the quotient between these two values:

ratio = A/B

a) $280 in 7m

Here the ratio is:

$280/7m = $40/m

This also can be read as:

$40 per meter.

b) 105 miles in 2 hours

Here the ratio is:

105mi/2h = 52.5 mi/h

This also can be read as:

52.5 miles per hour

c) $33 for 5lb

The ratio is:

$33/5lb = $6.6/lb

This can be read as:

$6.6 per pound.

d) 50 pages in 2 hours

the ratio is:

(50 pages)/2h = 25 pages/h

this can be read as:

25 pages per hour.
