Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

48=5(2x-7)+3

Use the distributive property

48=10x-35+3

Combine like terms

48=10x-32

Add 32 to both sides to cancel out the negative 32

80=10x

x=8

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

48 = 5(2x - 7) + 3

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

Distribute 5: 48 = 10x - 35 + 3
Combine like terms: 48 = 10x - 32
Add 32 to both sides: 80 = 10x
Divide both sides by 10: 8 = x
Rewrite: x = 8

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

48 = 5(2(8) - 7) + 3

48 = 5(16 - 7) + 3

48 = 5(9) + 3

48 = 45 + 3

48 = 48

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Olivia typed speed per minutes is 54 words

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Olivia typed 36 word in 2/3

Solution:

By Unitary method, calculate the speed of typing by Olivia as-

2/3 Minutes → 36 Words

1 Minutes → 36 ÷(2/3) Words

1 Minutes → 36x3÷2 Words

1 Minutes → 54 Words

Therefore Olivia typed speed is 54 word.

1.Morgan drives 24 miles due north, then drives 7 miles due east from home to work. What is the distance between Morgan’s home a

Naily [24]

Answer:

1) 25 miles

2) 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 1 is going to be

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$ because it's a right triangle

$24^{2}$ + $7^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

625 = $c^{2}$

c = 25 mile

Number 2 uses the same process, but changing to using C instead of A

a^2 = c^2 - b^2

a^2 = 625 - 225

a = \sqrt(400)

a = 20m

C.is decrease by 1 foot every 500 miles D. Is decrease by 1 foot every 1000 miles

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by,

Slope = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Line shown in the graph is passing through two points (2, 8000) and (4, 7000).

Therefore, slope of the given line = $\frac{8000-7000}{2-4}$

= -500 feet per mile

Which means, altitude decreases by 500 ft every mile.

(Negative sign represents the decrease)

Option A is the correct option.
