x in terms of b:
-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx + 10 = 16
-2bx = 6
x = 6 / -2b
x = -3/b
--------------------------------
when b = 3 then
-2(3x - 5) = 16
-6x + 10 = 16
-6x = 6
x = -1
Answer
The value of x in terms of b is -3/b
The value of x when b is 3 is -1
Answer:
1 hour and 45 minutes
and 1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
x= run
y= walk
5x+2.5y = distance
5x+2.5(1.5)=12.5
solve for x
5x=8.75
x=1.75
1.75 in hours is 1 hour and (60*.75)=45
1 hour and 45 minutes
" If the marathon race participant ran for 2 hours, how many hours did the participant walk?"
We use the same equation
5x+2.5y=distance
we'll assume that they till walked 12.5 miles
which means that
5(2)+2.5y=12.5
solve for y
2.5=2.5y
y=1
1 hour
