6x + 2x - 1 = 5x + 11
8x - 1 = 5x + 11
- 5x - 5x
3x - 1 = 11
+ 1 + 1
3x = 12
3 3
x = 4
So is 4 floors / 10 seconds
If you have 60 seconds you can multiple 10 by 6 because 10×6=60
so you also have to multiple 4 by 6
4×6=24
and because it's descending it's 100-24= 76
To solve -7y > 161, we divide both sides by -7 and we get y < -23. The inequality sign flipped because we divided both sides by a negative number.
To solve 7y > -161, we divide both sides by 7 and it leads to y > -23. The inequality sign does not flip in this case, because we are not dividing both sides by a negative number.
The similarities is that we end up with -23 on the right side, but the inequality signs are different.
Answer: Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
