Answer:
Starting time: 1:37
Step-by-step explanation:
Instead of proof to solve the problem, let us prove that the starting time above is correct;
1. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 60 - 37 = the minutes 'till 2:00, or 23 minutes
2. Knowing that the time the truck stopped driving through the neighborhood was 5 minutes past 2:00, the minute difference being 23 + 5, or <em>28 minutes</em>
<em>Proved: 28 minutes</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3x + 5 = x + 17
Reorder the terms:
5 + 3x = x + 17
Reorder the terms:
5 + 3x = 17 + x
Solving
5 + 3x = 17 + x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.
5 + 3x + -1x = 17 + x + -1x
Combine like terms: 3x + -1x = 2x
5 + 2x = 17 + x + -1x
Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
5 + 2x = 17 + 0
5 + 2x = 17
Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + 2x = 17 + -5
Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + 2x = 17 + -5
2x = 17 + -5
Combine like terms: 17 + -5 = 12
2x = 12
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 6
Simplifying
x = 6
Answer: The area is 180 square millimeters.
The length is 15 mm and the width is 12 mm. The length if the perimeter-- if you were going to ask that is
(2)(15) + 2(12)
54mm.
