Answer:

100 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can make a proportion.

The bike travels 5 miles in 20 minutes, and 25 miles in x minutes

5/20=25/x

Cross multiply

5*x=20*25

5x=500

Divide both sides by 5. This will cancel out the 5, and leave x by itself.

5x/5=500/5

x=100

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. If we subtract 60 from 100,

100-60=40

So, this is also equivalent to 1 hour and 40 minutes.

It takes 100 minutes, or 1 hour and 40 minutes, to travel 25 miles.

An investor invested a total of $2,800 in two mutual funds. One fund earned 5% profit while the other earned 3% profit. If the i

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5%

y ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3%

we know that

$x+y=2,800$ ----> $y=2,800-x$ ----> equation A

$5\%=5/100=0.05$

$3\%=3/100=0.03$

$0.05x+0.03y=104$ ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation A in equation B

$0.05x+0.03(2,800-x)=104$

Solve for x

$0.05x+84-0.03x=104$

$0.05x-0.03x=104-84$

$0.02x=20$

$x=\$1,000$

Find the value of y

$y=2,800-x$

$y=2,800-1,000=\$1,800$

therefore

The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000 and the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800

Solve for X -3 (2x + 6) = 12 pls help im ready to got bed lol

kramer

Answer:

x=-5 Hope this helped! Goodnight!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−3(2x+6)=12

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3(2x+6)=12

(−3)(2x)+(−3)(6)=12(Distribute)

−6x+−18=12

−6x−18=12

Step 2: Add 18 to both sides.

−6x−18+18=12+18

−6x=30

Step 3: Divide both sides by -6.

−6x /−6 = 30 /−6

x=-5
