143=7+8(3-7x) solve and justify

1 answer:

7 0

Justify means plug answer in and verify

so distribute 8(3-7x)=24-56x

143=7+24-56x
143=31-56x
minus 31 both sides
112=-56x
divide both sides by -56
-2=x

justify

plug it back
143=7+8(3-7x)
143=7+8(3-7(-2))
143=7+8(3-(-14))
143=7+8(3+14)
143=7+8(17)
143=7+136
143=143

Answer:

I think the answer is x is 16 and y is 20? I could be wrong tho

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract -7 from -1 to get 8.

Then, add the 12 and you get 16 for x.

First, subtract 7y from 9x to get 2y

Then, add 4 to get 20 for y.

Let's give some distances
100 up 100 flat 100 down meters
then return 100 up 100 flat 100 down

time required (distance/rate = time ) 200/100 + 200/120 + 200 / 150 = 5 hr

distance 600

distance / time = average speed = 600/5 = 120 m/s
