The given statement is "nine times five less than twice x".
So, twice of x can be written as 2x and nine times five is 9*5.
Now 9*5 less 2x means we need to take out 9*5 from 2x.
Hence, this statement will be converted into an algebraic expression as follows:
2x-9*5
560 / 28 = 20....so the driver travels 20 miles per gallon
on 35 gallons......35 * 20 = 700 miles <==
or u can also do it this way...
560/28 = x / 35....560 miles to 28 gal = x miles to 35 gal
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(28)(x) = (560)(35)
28x = 19600
x = 19600/28
x = 700 miles <==
so u can either do it by finding the unit rate or by making a proportion. either way will result in the same answer.
26 i am not really sure cuz what i did was 16-14= 2
2+24= 26
Answer: the actual length and width of the room is 24ft by 36ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale on the architectural plans for a new house is 1 in. equals 4 ft. This means that every 1 inch on the on the architectural plan represents 4 feet on the actual building.
Therefore, if the length of the room as measured on the drawing is 6 inches, the actual length of the room will be
6 × 4 = 24 feet
Also, if the width of the room as measured on the drawing is 9 inches, the actual width of the room will be
9 × 4 = 36 feet
