Answer:
4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find how many miles the car will travel in 0.5 hours, we can set up a proportion.

We can now cross multiply to find the value of x.

So the car can travel 4 miles in 0.5 hours.
Hope this helped!
#16: Let's clear the fraction on the way to solving this inequality for x. By mult. the given inequality by 2, we'll get -2 (is greater than) x+4. We want x to be positive. So, leave it where it is. Subtract 4 from both sides of this inequality. We end up with -6 (is greater than) x, which is the same thing as x (is less than) -6. What would the graph of that simple inequality look like?
Graph it. (Hint: The graph is a straight dashed line, and you must shade one side of it, but not the other side.
If 1/6 of the pan was left and there were 2 pieces left you just need to set 1/6 equal to 2/some number, this allows you to say that 1/6=2/x --> x/6=2-->x=12.
My explanation might be a little poor since this becomes fairly fundamental later on but hopefully it helps.
Answer:
140
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider a square for just a second. It has 4 angles each of 90 degrees. The total number of degrees in a square is 4 * 90 = 360.
It should be at least an appeal to your intuition to say that a quadrilateral has a total of 360 degrees.
Therefore the ratio you have been given must have 4 angles that add to 360.
2x + 3x + 6x + 7x = 360
18x =360
x = 20
So the 4 angles are
2* 20 = 40
3*20 = 60
6*20 = 120
7*20 = 140
Total 360
The largest angle is 140
Z = 3 (This equation is a given)
z(y) = 12 ( This equation is also given)
3y = 12 (as z = 3, plug 3 into z)
3y/3 = 12/3 (isolate the y by dividing 3 to both sides)
* you divide 3 to both sides because of the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other
y = 4 (answer for y)
y + 5 (what you are solving for)
(4) + 5 = 9 (As y = 4, plug in 4 for y in this equation)
y + 5 = 9 (4 + 5 = 9, or addition property)
9 is your answer
