What is the solution for x of ax-5=b?

Mathematics
1 answer:
BigorU [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = (b + 5/a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, add 5 to both sides of the equation:

ax - 5 (+5) = b (+5)

ax = b + 5

Next, divide a from both sides to isolate the variable, x:

(ax)/a = (b + 5)/a

x = (b + 5)/a

x = (b + 5/a) is your answer.

If Logan's family can drive 23 1/8 miles on 1 gallon of gas,how far can they drive on 17 gallons
guapka [62]

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&\stackrel{gas}{gallons}\\ \cline{1-2}\\ 23\frac{1}{8}&1\\\\ x&17 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{23\frac{1}{8}}{x}=\cfrac{1}{17}\implies \cfrac{\frac{23\cdot 8+1}{8}}{x}=\cfrac{1}{17}\implies \cfrac{\frac{185}{8}}{x}=\cfrac{1}{17} \\\\\\ \cfrac{\frac{185}{8}}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{1}{17}\implies \cfrac{185}{8}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{1}{17}\implies \cfrac{185}{8x}=\cfrac{1}{17} \\\\\\ 3145=8x\implies \cfrac{3145}{8}=x\implies 393\frac{1}{8}=x

1) A train travels 25 miles in 1/5 of an hour whats the trains speed in miles per hour?
Radda [10]

Answer:

<em>Hope this helps! ↓</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) 90 Km/h. Example: What is the speed of a cheetah that travels 112.0 meters in 4.0 seconds? ... Speed of the cheetah in miles per hour 28m 1 mile 3600 s 63 miles

2.) y=kx is the direct variation formula. Inserting the information and variables from this scenario we get h = kn.

12 = k*(10) First solve for 'k', the constant of proportionality by dividing by 10.

1.2 = k

Next write the equation using this k and the h & n.

h = 1.2*n

Now we want to find the height if we have 24 books so plug 24 in for n.

h = 1.2 * 24

h = 28.8 inches

3.) 10/3

Which arc is a minor arc?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The arc PS would be a minor arc

Step-by-step explanation:

As a minor arc is one that is less that 180 degrees, it would be the only viable solution.

Line SO is not an arc, so it cannot be chosen

the measures of arcs SQ and PSR are each 180 degress, so they would not be minor.
