15 mph 5280 ft 1 hr
----------- * ------------- * ------------ = 1320 feet per min.
1 1 mile 60 min
You might want to make use of the fact that 60 mph = 88 ft/sec.
He would have to sell at least 19 vacuums.
Answer: A) 18.2 minutes
B) 4.5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Maxine can mow one lawn in 24 minutes, so the rate of work is:
1/24 of the lawn per minute.
Sammie can mow one lanw in 36 minutes, so the rate of work is:
1/36 of the lawn per minute.
The amount of the lawn that each has left to lawn by the minute x is:
Maxine = 1 -(1/24)*x
Sammie = 1 - (1/36)*x
we want to find the value of x such that:
2*(1 - (1/24)*x) = 1 - *(1/36)*x
which means that the amount that Sammie has left is two times the amount that Maxine has left to mow.
2 - (1/12)*x = 1 - (1/36)*x
2 - 1 = (1/12 - 1/36)*x
1/0.055 = x = 18.2
by the minute 18.2
B) Similar to before, here the rates are:
For Maxine, R = 1/6
For Sammie, R = 1/9
The amount they have left to mow by minute x is:
Maxine = 1 - (1/6)*x
Sammie = 1 - (1/9)*x
We want to solve, similar to before.
2( 1 - (1/6)*x) = 1 - (1/9)*x
2 - (1/3)*x = 1 - (1/9)*x
2 - 1 = (1/3 - 1/9)*x
1 = (2/9)*x
1*9/2 = x = 4.5
So here the solution is 4.5 minutes. Hope this helps

Answer:
x = -3
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
5(x + 4) = -2(-4 - x) + 3
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 5x + 20 = 8 + 2x + 3
- Combine like terms: 5x + 20 = 2x + 11
- Subtract 2x on both sides: 3x + 20 = 11
- Subtract 20 on both sides: 3x = -9
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = -3
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 - -3) + 3
- Simplify: 5(-3 + 4) = -2(-4 + 3) + 3
- Add: 5(1) = -2(-1) + 3
- Multiply: 5 = 2 + 3
- Add: 5 = 5
Here we see that 5 does indeed equal 5. ∴ x = -3 is a solution of the equation.
And we have our final answer!
