Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
8x -6 = 18
Add 6 to both sides.
8x = 24
Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x.
x = 3
The number has 2 digits - let's call them x and y. The positive difference between the two combinations (lowest-highest and highest-lowest) is always equal to the positive difference of x and y, multiplied by 9.
For example:
76 and 67: 76 - 67 = 9 and ((7-6)*9) = 1*9 = 9
73 and 37: 73 - 37 = 36 and ((7-3)*9) = 4*9 = 36
I will help you on two conditions: 1) that you never again call yourself "stupid," and that you ask no more than 1 or 2 questions per post.
I'll focus on #5. Recall that distance = rate times time: d = r*t.
You want distance and are given rate and time: rate 1.8 km/min; time 48 min.
I see you write "distance" next to "1.8 km;" that is not correct, because
the problem states that "the rate is 1.8 km per minute." 1.8 km is a distance; 1.8 km / min is not (it's a rate).
So, again, to find the distance traveled, mult. the rate by the elapsed time:
distance = (1.8 km/min)(48 min) = 86.4 km, or about 54 miles.
