Let's solve this equation and put the words with it along the way.

1) 7x = 2(x - 5) [given: this is, well, the problem]

2) 7x = 2x - 10 [Distributive Property: 2 was distributed throughout (x-5)]

3) 5x = -10 [Subtraction Property of Equality: We subtracted 2x on both sides]

4) x = -2 [Division Property of Equality: We divided both sides by 5]


Hope this helps!

Two​ high-speed ferries leave at the same time from a city to go to the same island. The first​ ferry, the​ Cat, travels at 34 m
djyliett [7]

Answer:

They will be 5 miles apart in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the time it will take for the two ferries to be 5 miles apart

Mathematically; distance = speed * time

Let the number of hours be x

In x hours, the cat will have traveled 34 * x = 34x miles

In x hours, the Bird will have traveled 29 * x = 29x miles

So;

34x - 29x = 5

5x = 5

x = 5/5

x = 1 hour
