You first divide the number by 100 and then multiply it by the percentage that you are given
Answer: number 7. 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
7X + 1 + -5X = 15
Reorder the terms:
1 + 7X + -5X = 15
Combine like terms: 7X + -5X = 2X
1 + 2X = 15
Solving
1 + 2X = 15
Solving for variable 'X'.
Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + 2X = 15 + -1
Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 2X = 15 + -1
2X = 15 + -1
Combine like terms: 15 + -1 = 14
2X = 14
Divide each side by '2'.
X = 7
Simplifying
X = 7
3.35kg is minimum and max is 3.44kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance = (Rate)(Time) So, Time = (Distance)/(Rate)
Time at slower speed = Time at faster speed + 3
36/x = 36/(x+6) + 3
Multiply the equation by the LCD, x(x+6) to obtain:
36(x+6) = 36x + 3x(x+6)
36x + 216 = 36x + 3x2 + 18x
3x2 + 18x - 216 = 0
x2 + 6x - 72 = 0
(x + 12)(x - 6) = 0
x = -12 or x = 6
Since x can't be negative, x = 6 mph
