Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2 = 3x + 4(2x - 1)

Distribute the 4

5x + 2 = 3x + 8x - 4

Combine like terms

5x + 2 = 11x - 4

Subtract 5x from each side

5x -5x + 2 = 11x - 5x - 4

2 = 6x-4

Add 4 to each side

2+4 = 6x-4+4

6 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

6/6 =6x/6

1= x

The formula f 5280m can be used to convert a measurement of f feet to an equivalent measurement of m miles. If an airplane flies

konstantin123 [22]

Just to help you, that formula is saying that 1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet, i.e. the number of feet is equal to 5280 * number of miles.

So, you know the number of feet = 21,120 and have to convert that into the equivalent number of miles:

f = 5280m => m = f / 5280

m = 21,120 / 5280 = 4 miles

Answer: 4 miles
