First, break up 45 into 40 and 5 then multipy 8(40) which equals 320 and multipy 8(5) which equals 40. Thrn add 320+40 to get the product 360.
Hope this helped
8x45
8(40)+8(5)
320+40
360
If we represent Tobin's speed as x, we can write her opponent's speed as
x-2 (since Tobin is 2 more than them). In addition, since it's in miles per hour, and 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, we can say that 3/4ths of her speed in miles per hour is how long the race is, so (3/4)(x-2)=distance of race. In addition, since it only took Tobin 30 minutes, and 30 minutes is half an hour, x/2 (half of her miles per hour) is the length of the race, so (3/4)(x-2)=(1/2)x. Expanding it, we get 3x/4-6/4=x/2. Subtracting x/2 (or 2x/4) from both sides, we get x/4-6/4=0 and by adding 6/4 to both sides we get x/4=6/4. Multiplying 4 to both sides, we get that x=6=Tobin's speed in miles per hour
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, use inverse operations:
-8x+3 = -29 Subtract 3 from both sides
-8x +3 -3 = -29 -3
-8x = -32 Divide both sides by -8
x = 4
the main equation you need to do is just 36 x (3/4), you will get that 27 dollars has been spent.
now you just do 36 - 27 to get the final answer
2x+3=17
subtract 3 from each side
2x+3 -3 = 17 -3
2x = 14
divide by 2 on each side
2x/2 = 14/2
x = 7
