Answer:

  32 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

For some number of seconds (s), Tess's essay length (t) will be ...

  t = 42 +1.3s

and Margo's essay length (m) will be ...

  m = 122 -1.2s

We will have t > m when ...

  t > m

  42 +1.3s > 122 -1.2s

  2.5s > 80 . . . . . . . . add 1.2s-42

  s > 32 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2.5

After 32 seconds, Tess's essay will exceed Margo's in length.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

x =  2.

Step-by-step explanation:

5[3(x + 4) − 2(1 − x)] − x − 15 = 14x + 55

5[3x + 12 - 2 + 2x] - x - 15 = 14x + 55

5[5x + 10] - x - 15 = 14x + 55

25x + 50  - x - 15 = 14x + 55     Now we subtract 14x from both sides:

25x + 50  - x - 15  - 14x = 14x - 14x + 55

10x + 50 - 15 = 55 Now we subtract  50, add 15 to both sides:

10x + 50 - 50 - 15 + 15 = 55 - 50 + 15    

10x =  20

x = 2.
