RS + ST = RT

a.
2x + 10 + x - 4 = 21
3x + 6 = 21
3x = 21 - 6
3x = 15
x = 15/3
x = 5
RS = 2x + 10 = 2*5 + 10 = 10 + 10 = 20
ST = x - 4 = 5 - 4 = 1

b.
3x - 16 + 4x - 8 = 60
7x - 24 = 60
7x = 60 + 24
7x = 84
x = 84/7
x = 12
RS = 3x - 16 = 3*12 - 16 = 36 - 16 = 20
ST = 4x - 8 = 4*12 - 8 = 48 - 8 = 40

c.
2x - 8 + 11 = x + 10
2x + 3 = x + 10
2x - x = 10 - 3
x = 7
RS = 2x - 8 = 2*7 - 8 = 14 - 8 = 6
RT = x + 10 = 7 + 10 = 17

d.
4x - 9 + 19 = 8x - 14
4x + 10 = 8x - 14
10 + 14 = 8x - 4x
24 = 4x
x = 24/4
x = 6
RS = 4x - 9 = 4*6 - 9 = 24 - 9 = 15
RT = 8x - 14 = 8*6 - 14 = 34

Justin is on a road trip. Over the past two days, he’s driven a total distance of 504 miles at an average speed of 56 miles/hour

irakobra [83]

Recall d = rt, distance = rate * time.

now, he has a speed rate of 56 mph for a distance of 504

$\bf d=rt\implies 504=56t\implies \cfrac{504}{56}=t\implies \stackrel{hours}{9}=t$

so, at that speed the whole driving time is 9 hours then. Ok, he drove 2 hours today, that means he drove 7 yesterday, 9 - 2.

how many miles is it for 7 hours at 56mph? d = rt ---> d = 56 * 7

that many miles he drove yesterday.

there are about 1.5 grams of fat in 1 tabespoon of humus.how many grams of fat are in 2 1/2 cups of hummus ?

Kipish [7]

We'll first we need to know the in 1 cup there is 16 tablespoon.
so we could multiply we need 2 1/2 cup so that is 16 (1cup) + 16 (1cup) +8 (1/2 cup)= 40 tablespoons... and 1 tablespoon is 1.5 grams of fat then we multiply 40 times 1.5 .... This is equal to 60 grams fat
So there is 60 grams of fat in 2 1/5 cups of hummus.
