Of the 5 routes Tanya can choose from, 2 routes will take 30 minutes. This means that the probability is:
2/5 = 0.4
The answer is 40%.
Joel = j, Mark = m, Sandra = s
j + m + s = 120
m = 3j
j = 1/2 s --> s = 2j
plug in (substitute) each letter to make it in terms of only j: j + m + s = 120
j + 3j + 2j = 120
6j = 120
6j/6 = 120/6
j = 20
now plug in for the j & s equation:
s = 2j = 2(20) = 40
Therefore Sandra has 40 coins!
That's answer exactly is -5
Answer:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x = 7 is a solution, substitute x = 7 into the equation and solve for a
4(7) - 2(7 + a) = 8 , that is
28 - 2(7 + a) = 8 ( subtract 28 from both sides )
- 2(7 + a) = - 20 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
7 + a = 10 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
a = 3
