Create a ratio, 35/2.5. 2.5/2.5= 1. 35/2.5=14. Steve traveled at an average of 14 miles.

Hi!

We will solve this using proportions, like this:

35 miles in 2,5 hours

x miles per 1 hour

____________________

x = (35*1)/2,5

x = 35/2,5

x = 14

The average speed that Steve travelled is 14 miles per hour.

Hope this helps!

The equation of a line is -2x+5t=-20 what is the x-intercept of the line?

vampirchik [111]

The x intercept of the line is at x = 10.

The x intercept is always the value of x when all other values are equal to 0. So in this case, we put 0 in for t and then solve.

-2x + 5t = -20

-2x + 5(0) = -20

-2x = -20

x = 10

Solve for x 3(x+2)+4=5x+7

GaryK [48]

Distribute: 3x+6+4=5x+7
Simplify: 3x+10=5x+7
Subtract 3x from both sides: 10=2x + 7
Subtract 7 from both sides: 3=2x
Divide by 2: x=3/2

x=3/2

May runs around a 4 m track at a consistent speed of 250 m/min. how many minutes does it take me to complete for lapse of the tr

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

It takes May 6 minutes and 24 seconds to run 4 laps and 1 minute and 36 seconds per lap

Statement and question:

May runs around a 400-meter track at a constant speed of 250 meters per minute. How many minutes does it take May to complete 4 laps of the track?

Source:

Previous question that can be found at brainly

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of May = 250 meters per minute

Length of the track = 400 meters

2. How many minutes does it take May to complete 4 laps of the track?

Let's answer the question calculating the total distance and the time it took Mary to run around the track, this way:

Total distance = 4 * 400 = 1,600 meters

Time it takes May to run 1,600 meters = 1,600/250

Time it takes May to run 1,600 meters = 6.4 minutes

6.4 minutes = 6 minutes + 0.4 * 60 seconds = 6 minutes and 24 seconds

Time it takes May to run one lap = 6.4/4 = 1.6

1.6 minutes = 1 minute + 0.6 * 60 seconds = 1 minute and 36 seconds

5(x-3)+7(2-x)-4(2x+7)-3x+2=11-8(x-7)+4x-(6-5x)+8-2x

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5(x + -3) + 7(2 + -1x) + -4(2x + 7) + -3x + 2 = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

Reorder the terms:

5(-3 + x) + 7(2 + -1x) + -4(2x + 7) + -3x + 2 = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

(-3 * 5 + x * 5) + 7(2 + -1x) + -4(2x + 7) + -3x + 2 = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

(-15 + 5x) + 7(2 + -1x) + -4(2x + 7) + -3x + 2 = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

-15 + 5x + (2 * 7 + -1x * 7) + -4(2x + 7) + -3x + 2 = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

-15 + 5x + (14 + -7x) + -4(2x + 7) + -3x + 2 = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

Reorder the terms:

-15 + 5x + 14 + -7x + -4(7 + 2x) + -3x + 2 = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

-15 + 5x + 14 + -7x + (7 * -4 + 2x * -4) + -3x + 2 = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

-15 + 5x + 14 + -7x + (-28 + -8x) + -3x + 2 = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

Reorder the terms:

-15 + 14 + -28 + 2 + 5x + -7x + -8x + -3x = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

Combine like terms: -15 + 14 = -1

-1 + -28 + 2 + 5x + -7x + -8x + -3x = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

Combine like terms: -1 + -28 = -29

-29 + 2 + 5x + -7x + -8x + -3x = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

Combine like terms: -29 + 2 = -27

-27 + 5x + -7x + -8x + -3x = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

Combine like terms: 5x + -7x = -2x

-27 + -2x + -8x + -3x = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

Combine like terms: -2x + -8x = -10x

-27 + -10x + -3x = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

Combine like terms: -10x + -3x = -13x

-27 + -13x = 11 + -8(x + -7) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

Reorder the terms:

-27 + -13x = 11 + -8(-7 + x) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

-27 + -13x = 11 + (-7 * -8 + x * -8) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

-27 + -13x = 11 + (56 + -8x) + 4x + -1(6 + -5x) + 8 + -2x

-27 + -13x = 11 + 56 + -8x + 4x + (6 * -1 + -5x * -1) + 8 + -2x

-27 + -13x = 11 + 56 + -8x + 4x + (-6 + 5x) + 8 + -2x

Reorder the terms:

-27 + -13x = 11 + 56 + -6 + 8 + -8x + 4x + 5x + -2x

Combine like terms: 11 + 56 = 67

-27 + -13x = 67 + -6 + 8 + -8x + 4x + 5x + -2x

Combine like terms: 67 + -6 = 61

-27 + -13x = 61 + 8 + -8x + 4x + 5x + -2x

Combine like terms: 61 + 8 = 69

-27 + -13x = 69 + -8x + 4x + 5x + -2x

Combine like terms: -8x + 4x = -4x

-27 + -13x = 69 + -4x + 5x + -2x

Combine like terms: -4x + 5x = 1x

-27 + -13x = 69 + 1x + -2x

Combine like terms: 1x + -2x = -1x

-27 + -13x = 69 + -1x

Solving

-27 + -13x = 69 + -1x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'x' to each side of the equation.

-27 + -13x + x = 69 + -1x + x

Combine like terms: -13x + x = -12x

-27 + -12x = 69 + -1x + x

Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0

-27 + -12x = 69 + 0

-27 + -12x = 69

Add '27' to each side of the equation.

-27 + 27 + -12x = 69 + 27

Combine like terms: -27 + 27 = 0

0 + -12x = 69 + 27

-12x = 69 + 27

Combine like terms: 69 + 27 = 96

-12x = 96

Divide each side by '-12'.

x = -8

Simplifying

x = -8
