Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Putting value of x = 1/2 in the equation
8x - 3/x
8(1/2) - 3(1/2)
= 4 - 3/2
= 2.5 or 5/2
Answer:
9:40 am
Step-by-step explanation:
Let time taken from when Smith left compound to when Garcia overtakes Smith's car be represented by y
After y hours, Smith has covered 48*y=48y miles
Similarly, due to a difference of 20 minutes which is 20/60=1/3 hours, Garcia moves a distance of
60(y-1/3)
Equating both distances to be the same
60y-20=48y
12y=20
y=20/12=5/3 hours
Converted to minutes
5/3*60=100 minutes= 1 hr 40 mins
Therefore, adding 100 minutes to to starting time of Smith
8:00+1:40=9:40 am
The time that Garcia overtakes Smith is 9:40am
Answer: <em>m = 7</em>
Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, since a -5 is being multiplied by <em>m</em>, in order to get <em>m</em> by itself, we must divide both sides of the equation by -5.
On the left side, our -5's cancel out and we are left with <em>m</em>. On the right side, -35 ÷ -5 gives us 7. So m = 7.
To check our answer, we plug 7 back in for <em>m</em> in the original equation and we get -5 (7) = -35 which is a true statement so we know our answer is correct.
Don't just do this problem in your head. It's extremely important to develop the habit of putting all your steps down on paper or digitally. It will really pay off for you down the line.
