What is the answer to 8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)

Mathematics

nadezda [96]3 years ago

Answer:

x=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you distribute the 8 over the (x-3) giving you 8x-24. Do the same for 2x and (4-17). That should give you 8x-34x.

Your equation should look like : 8x-24+7=8x-34x

Next try to balance out your equation. You want your x's all by themselves in order to solve.

The 8x's cancel eachother out so you have -24+7= -34x.

Add the like terms of -24 and 7 to get -17.

Equation: -17= -34x

Divide both sides by -34 to get x by itself.

-17/-34 = x

Reduce by dividing the numerator and denominator by 17 to get -1/-2

Since they are both negative the fraction turns positive.

So the answer should be x=1/2

Mr.sanchez drives 120 miles in 3 hours. At the same rate, how far will he drive in 5 hours
Rina8888 [55]
To elaborate:

To do this problem, we assume that Mr. Sanchez is driving at a constant rate.

According to this information, he has driven 120 mi in 3 hr. To find how much he drives in 5 hr, we first have to find how many mi he drives in 1 hour. To do this, we divide 120 miles by 3 hours, since we assume that he managed to drive an equal amount in each hour.

120/3=40

Therefore Mr. Sanchez drove at a rate of 40 mph.

However, this isn't the final answer. 40 miles is the distance for one hour of driving. To find the distance for 5 hours, we have to multiply the distance by 5 as well.

40 times 5=200

In conclusion, Mr. Sanchez will drive 200 miles in 5 hours.
