(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...
... 5x = 6(x -1.75)
(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.
... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x
... 0 = x -10.50
... 10.50 = x
(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50
... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value
(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.
Y=-x-3/2
That's it written in slope intercept form

Miles earned= ((1÷8)×11)÷1
= 1.375 miles
average speed=total distance/total time
=1.375÷3.5=0.3928 miles/min
Answer:
feet tall
Step-by-step explanation:
Ajax is "5 and 1 fourth feet tall", which can be written as the mixed number 
.
His sister is "3 eighths foot shorter", so she's 3/8 feet shorter than 5 1/4.
So, this is just a subtraction problem:
To solve this, we want to convert 5 1/4 into an improper fraction, which is: 
. Now, we want to find a common denominator. In this case, that common denominator is 8, so 
.
Finally, we subtract 3/8 from 42/8: 
. So, Ajax's sister is 39/8 feet. Converting this into a mixed number, we have: 39/8 = 4
.
Therefore, Ajax's sister is feet tall.
Hope this helps!
