Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
29=7x + 5 -4x
add like terms: 29 = 3x +5
get your x variable on one side
24 = 3x
divide by 3
x = 8
check!
29 = 7(8) + 5 -4(8)
29 = 56 + 5 -32
29 = 51 - 32
29 = 29
55x5 - 40x5
The third one down
The rate of giant tortoise is 1/10 meters per each second.
The rate of cooter turtle is 1/2 meters per each second.
How long would it take a giant <span>tortoise to travel 5 meters?
1 second : 1/10 m = X : 5 m
1/10x = 5
x = 50 seconds
How much longer would it take a giant tortoise than a cooter turtle to travel 10 meters on land?
1 second : 1/2 m = X : 10 m
1/2x = 10
x = 20 seconds
So the giant turtle can travel 5 meters in 50 seconds.
</span><span>So the cooter turtle can travel 10 meters in 20 seconds.</span>
