First let's define variables:
r: reading
s: skimming
We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem:
r + s = 275
(15/10) r + (10/15) s = 355
We solve the system of equations:
r = 206
s = 69
Note: see attached image for system solution.
Answer:
Jayden had to skim 69 pages through
Isolate the m, go backwards for PEMDAS.
C = 2m + d
C (-d) = 2m + d (-d)
C - d = 2m
(C - d)/2 = 2m/2
m = (C - d)/2
m = (C - d)/2 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
288
Step-by-step explanation:
2(n+4) + 6 = (1/2)(3-n)
Then 2n + 8 + 6 = 3/2 - n/2
and 2n + 14 = 3/2 - n/2
(5/2)n = 3/2 - 28/2 = -25/2
-25/2
n = -------------- = -5 (answer)
5/2
The key information here is the time he took to run the race - 420 seconds
We know that there are 60 seconds in 1 minute so to find the number of minutes we divide 420 by 60 to get 7.
Murad took 7 minutes to run the race
