I believe the correct answer is X=52X-4=58

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{X}{8} -\frac{1}{2} = 6

1. We now multiply all sides by 8:

{\frac{X}{8}}\times8 -{\frac{1}{2}}\times8 = 6\times8

2. Solve for 8 on all ratios and numbers:

X-4=48

3. Carry the 48  to the right. When you carry a number to the right side, it becomes positive and to the left it becomes negative:

X=48+4

4. Add the sum on the right:

48+4=52

5. Now fill in for X:

X=52

Let us prove it is correct....

1. Fill in the value of X with 52:

\frac{52}{8}-\frac{1}{2} =6

2. Do the fractions first and convert to 1 decimal place number:

6.5-0.5=6

3. Do the subtraction:

6.5-0.5=6

4. Now:

6=6

Thus the answer for X=52

rewona [7]

i'm sorry but can you put in more details as to what each item costs, if it is just variables then it should be something like b times the amount bought plus c times the amount bought. without the costs i cannot actually give you how much she spent

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in this problem, we're given the size of the of the file. We are also given the rate of change of the amount-downloaded function.

Notice how the transfer rate is in units of time (25.2 MB/s means 25.2 MB per second).

If we want to calculate how <em>long</em> it'll take to download the entire file, we have to divide the file size by the amount of the MB downloaded in one second. (This is assuming the download rate is constant, in the case it isn't constant, you would use calculus) This will find the total number of seconds needed to download the entire file.

We're essentially solving for t in the equation

400.6 = 25.2t

t = \frac{400.6}{25.2} = \frac{2003}{126} = 15.897
