-8n where n > 0 and whole number (-8n/8=-n)
-8*1=-8
-8*8=-64
-8*9=-72
Answer:
-8, -64, -72
Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.
Answer:
The answer to your question is 192 pretzels
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
number of pieces = 8
length of each piece = 2 ft
length of each pretzel = 1 in
number of pretzels = x
Process
1.- Convert ft to in
1 ft --------------- 12 in
2 ft --------------- x
x = (2 x 12) / 1
x = 24 ft
2.- Divide the length of each piece by the length of each pretzel
24/1 = 24 pretzels per piece
3.- Multiply the number of pretzels per the number of pieces
24 x 8 = 192 pretzels
First, subtract px2 from both sides.
Now you have:
x3 - px2 = (1 - p) x1
Next, divide both sides by (1 - p)
So now you have
x3 - px2/(1 - p) = x1
...as your final answer
*You can decide if you want to leave the parenthesis in your final answer, I left them there so it could be visible where I put them. :)
