I think it would be 13 hours possibly
Answer:
k = 5
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
15 - 3k = 10(k - 5)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>k</u></em>
- Distribute 10: 15 - 3k = 10k - 50
- Add 3k to both sides: 15 = 13k - 50
- Add 50 to both sides: 65 = 13k
- Divide 13 on both sides: 5 = k
- Rewrite: k = 5
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in k into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>k</em>: 15 - 3(5) = 10(5 - 5)
- Subtract: 15 - 3(5) = 10(0)
- Multiply: 15 - 15 = 0
- Subtract: 0 = 0
Here we see that 0 does indeed equal 0.
∴ k = 5 is a solution of the equation.
Hello there!
So, if this turtle is only going 2.5 miles per hour. This would mean that (EACH) hour, this turtle only arrived 2.5 miles. So, we do,

We would have to count how many ("2.5's" they are above.)
We count only
4.
I would take this turtle
4 miles to swim 10 kilometers.
The answer for 2 is 320 because you have to keep counting by 40's
