It is given that x is 5 less than the quotient of y and 3.
And given value of y is 18 .
So quotient of y and 3 is

And 5 less than 6 =1
So we have y=18 and x=1
Given expression is

At x=1 and y=18, we will get


You have the formula.
KE= 0.5(20 kg) (10 m/s)^2
KE= 10kg * 100 = 1000 J
You are asked to find the missing value in
... 40 + ? = 70
given that it is also the solution to
... ? + 5 = 35
Either way, you subtract the constant that is on the same side of the equation as the unknown.
... 40 + ? - 40 = 70 - 40
... ? = 30 . . . . the missing value
_____
You can check to see if this also satisfies the equation
... 30 + 5 = 35 . . . . . . . true
You do 6/4, so the answer should be: 1.5 hours!
