0.8(5x + 15) = 2.6 - x + 3 Use the Distributive Property
4x + 12 = 2.6 - x + 3 Combine like terms (2.6 and 3)
4x + 12 = 5.6 - x Add x to both sides
5x + 12 = 5.6 Subtract 12 from both sides
5x = -6.4 Divide both sides by 5
x = -1.28
The bigger number is always first
Answer:
a) (4x® - 5x + 15) - (11 - 7x - 2x)
b)(9x- 6x® - 7x-2) + (10x - 8x + 11)
Step-by-step explanation:
a) (4x® - 5x + 15) - (11 - 7x - 2x)
b)(9x- 6x® - 7x-2) + (10x - 8x + 11)
I think it is 3.6 .......
Answer: 2 hr.
Explanation: Think back to rate of change. <em>d</em> = <em>rt</em>, <em>r</em> = <em>d/t</em>, <em>t</em> = <em>d/r</em>. In this case, we will be using <em>d</em> = <em>rt</em>. Mph would be <em>r</em>, rate, so you would categorize 15 mph and 8 mph under rate. <em>t</em> should represent the time each cyclist traveled. Tracey's and Emma's distance, <em>d</em>, would be the same as their mph, hence Tracey's being 15<em>t</em> and Emma's would be 8<em>t</em>. When you add Tracey's distance plus Emma's distance, you end up with 46 mi. Now, you need to combine like terms, which should look like 15<em>t</em> + 8<em>t </em> = 46. Add 15 and 8 to get 23, so it should be 23<em>t</em> = 46 now. Then, divide both sides of the equation by 23 and now you should have your answer, <em>t</em> = 2 hr.
