Ax=b(c+x)
ax=bc+bx
(a-b)x=bc
x =bc/(a-b)
70 or 120 because either you multiple or addition
Find the depth of the river at 9 hours and 18 hours by seeing where the line is on the Y axis.
At 9 hours the river is 18 feet deep
At 18 hours the river is 21 feet deep.
The average rate of change is the change in Y over the change in X
The Y is the depth and the X is the time:
(21-18) / (18-9) = 3/9 = 1/3 = 0.33
The average rate of change is 0.3 foot per hour. ( Rounded to nearest tenth)
Distrivute 0.2 to x and +50 and you get 0.2x+10-6 now for the other side we do the same and we get 1.2x+8 or an easier way... Let's solve your equation step-by-step.<span><span><span>0.2<span>(<span>x+50</span>)</span></span>−6</span>=<span>0.4<span>(<span><span>3x</span>+20</span>)</span></span></span>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.<span><span><span>0.2x</span>+4</span>=<span><span>1.2x</span>+8</span></span>Step 2: Subtract 1.2x from both sides.<span><span><span><span>0.2x</span>+4</span>−<span>1.2x</span></span>=<span><span><span>1.2x</span>+8</span>−<span>1.2x</span></span></span><span><span><span>−x</span>+4</span>=8</span>Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.<span><span><span><span>−x</span>+4</span>−4</span>=<span>8−4 </span></span><span><span>−x</span>=<span>4 now you divide by negative x (technically it is -1x=4 so your answer is x=-4</span></span>
