Answer: 72 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of toys that Moby had to start with.

According to the information given in the exercise, Moby sold half his toy car collection. This can be represented with the following expression:

\frac{1}{2}x

Then he bought 12 more cars, giving a total amount of 48 toy cars.

Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is the equation shown below:

x-\frac{1}{2}x+12=48

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.

You get that this is:

\frac{1}{2}x+12=48\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=48-12\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=36\\\\x=(36)(2)\\\\x=72

The required diagram is attached in the picture below :

Answer:

15.05 miles

2 :09:12

5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

28/4/18:

Time : 1 :03 : 25

Fastest mile = 02 : 25

Distance = 15.05 miles

03/5/18:

Time : 2:06: 41

Fastest mile = 02 : 53

Distance = 28.70 miles

08/5/18:

Time : 2 :09:12

Fastest mile = 02 : 45

Distance = 26.39 miles2

1.) shortest distance cycled :

From the data:

15.05 < 26.39 < 28.70

Shortest distance cycled = 15.05 miles

The longest the cycled:

1 :03 : 25 < 2:06: 41 < 2 :09:12

Longest = 2 :09:12

Total cycling time :

1 :03 : 25 + 2:06: 41 + 2 :09:12

(1 + 2 + 2)= 5 hrs

(03 + 06+ 09) = 18 minutes

(25 + 41 + 12) = 78 seconds = 1 minute 18 seconds

18 minutes + 1 minute = 19 minutes

Total = 5 hours 19 minutes 18 seconds

Solve for x: (2/5)(x-4)=2x​
NARA [144]

Simplify brackets

2/5(x - 4) = 2x

Simplify 2/5(x - 4) to 2(x - 4)/5

2(x - 4)/5 = 2x

Multiply both sides by 5

2(x - 4) = 10x

Divide both sides by 2

x - 4 = 5x

Subtract x from both sides

-4 = 5x - x

Simplify 5x - x to 4x

-4 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

-1 = x

Switch sides

<u>x = -1</u>
