Answer: <u>3 hours and 20 minutes</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2(3)x = 30
3x + 6x = 30
9x = 30
9/9 = 30/9
x = 3 1/3 hours
It’s easier if you turn the fractions into decimals and arrange them in order from biggest to smallest. 3/4= 0.75, 5/6= 0.83, 7/9= 0.77, 1/2= 0.5, 2/3= 0.66, 7/12= .583, 15/24= 0.625. Then obviously, you order them from biggest to smallest:
0.83 (5/6), 0.77 (7/9), 0.75 (3/4), 0.66 (2/3), 0.583 (7/12), 0.5 (1/2).
Answer:
-8=2x-y get this into y=mx+b form to find the y-intercept
-y=-2x-8
y=2x+8
the y-intercept is 8 so it passes through (0,8)
to find the x-intercept, set y to equal zero
0=2x+8
-8=2x
x=-4
the x-intercept is -4 so it passes through (-4,0)
the slope is 2 based on the slope-intercept form
Answer is D.
Because;
The first equation = the second equation
Let us assume the first number = x
Then the second number = 5x -2
The third number = x + 4
The total number that needs to be divided into three parts is 219
Then we can write the equation as
x + 5x - 2 + x + 4 = 219
7x + 2 = 219
7x = 219 - 2
7x = 217
x = 217/7
= 31
Then
First number = 31
Second number = 5x - 2
= (5 * 31) - 2
= 155 -2
= 153
Third number = x + 4
= 31 + 4
= 35
So the three numbers are 31, 153 and 35.
