Let x be the number of minutes for
his normal walk
On the way to the airport, for the
2/5 (or 40%) of his route, his speed is twice faster. Hence, the number of x
should be divided to 2. The rest of the route (60%) was on his normal pace. The
total minutes is 6. The equation is:
0.4(x÷2) + 0.6x = 6
<span>Solving for x, the number of
minutes for his normal walk is 7.5 minutes.</span>
We are given some statements, we need to find which of the given statements is an advantage to using equations.
<h3><em>The correct option is </em></h3><h3><em>(A). When given two names for the same quantity, you can use algebra to solve the equations.</em></h3>
Incorrect options are :
(B). You can forget what an equation represents when it is used by itself.
(C). every problem needs an equations if you want to solve it.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Triangle Proportionality Theorem:
By cross-multiplication:
Distribute:
Subtract 12x from both sides:
Hence:
