Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 71 = 2x - 50

3x - 2x = -50 + 71

x = 21

Check:

3(21) - 71 = 2(21) - 50

63 - 71 = 42 - 50

-8 = -8

Answer: $x=21$

Subtract 2x from both sides

$3x-1-2x=2x-50-2x\\x-71=-50$

Add 71 to both sides

$x-71+71=-50+71\\x=21$

A tortoise is walking in the desert. It walks at a speed of 5 meters per minute for 62.5 meters. For how many minutes does it wa

Sergio [31]

The question is asking for how many minutes it walks. Since it walks 5 meter per minute and walks 62.5 meters, you have to divide 62.5 by 5 to get how many minutes the tortoise walks. 62.5 divide by 5 is 12.5. in minutes, 0.5 is 30 seconds, therefore the tortoise walked for 12 minutes and 30 seconds or 12 1/2 minutes.

What is the location of the point (5, 0) translates 4 units to the down and reflected across the y-axis?

CaHeK987 [17]

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given information

The given ordered point = (5, 0)

Step 1: We need to translate the point 4 units down

To translate down means we will be subtracting a value from the y--axis

Hence, we have

$\begin{gathered} (x,\text{ y) }\rightarrow\text{ (x, y-b)} \\ \text{where b = 4} \\ (5,\text{ 0) }\rightarrow\text{ (5, 0 - 4)} \\ (5,\text{ 0) }\rightarrow\text{ (5, -4)} \end{gathered}$

When translated 4 units down, we got (5, -4)

Step 2: Reflect over the y-axis

The general rule for reflecting over the y-axis is (-x, y)

This means the value of x will be negated and the value of y will remain the same
