Simplifying
8x + -10 = 62
Reorder the terms:
-10 + 8x = 62
Solving
-10 + 8x = 62
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 10 + 8x = 62 + 10
Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + 8x = 62 + 10
8x = 62 + 10
Combine like terms: 62 + 10 = 72
8x = 72
Divide each side by '8'.
x = 9
Simplifying
x = 9
To be able to determine the number of M&Ms that are needed in order to measure the length of Mississippi River, we convert the units to a common one. For this purpose, we convert kilometers to centimeter such that,
Length of Mississippi River = (4000 km)(1000 m/1 km)(100 cm/1 m)
= 400,000,000 cm
Since there are 400,000,000 cm in the entire length of the river, the answer would also be 400,000,000.
