Answer:
According to my calculations, 1.6 goes into 10.8 a total of 6 times with a remainder of 1.1999999999999993. If you continue the long division beyond the decimal point, the result would be 6.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
b=7
Step-by-step explanation:
5a(2b – 3a) = 40
Let a=4
5*4(2b-3*4) = 40
20(2b-12) = 40
Divide each side by 20
20/20 (2b-12) = 40/20
2b-12 =2
Add 12 to each side
2b-12+12 = 2+12
2b = 14
Divide by 2
2b/2 = 14/2
b = 7
We need to do a system of equations here.
x + y = 275 (if you travel <em>x</em> km by bike and <em>y </em>km by bus, then you travel 275 km as given in the problem)
y = x + 55 (the problem stated that they were bussed (y) the amount they biked plus 55 more km (x + 55))
The second equation is already solved for y. So, we can plug it in to the first equation.
x + (x + 55) = 275
2x + 55 = 275 [combine x terms]
2x = 220 [subtract 55 from both sides]
x = 110 [divide by 2 to isolate x and solve for it]
Now we know that x is 110, the distance they traveled by bike.
And that's what we needed to answer the problem!
