3/2x + 1/5x = 11/6x - 2/15....to get rid of fractions, multiply by common denominator, which is 30.

45x + 6x = 55x - 4
51x = 55x - 4
51x - 55x = -4
-4x = -4
x = -4/-4
x = 1

1. 30 • 3/2x + 30 x 1/5x = 30 • 11/6x - 30 • 2/15

    (To simplify, multiply both sides by the least common denominator)

2. 15 • 3x + 6x = 5 • 11x - 2 • 2

           (Multiply)

3. 45x + 6x = 55x - 4

     (Collect Like Terms)

4. 51x = 55x - 4

   (Move variable to the left side and change its sign)

5. -4x = -4

   (Divide both sides of the equation by -4)

6.  x = 1

The temperature is 45°F. The temperature will decrease by 2°F each hour. Let h be the number of hours.
Varvara68 [4.7K]
45 - 2t < 32 ( where t is time and you can replace it with x or h if you prefer)
Solving for t you get:
45 - 2t - 32 < 0
45 - 32 < 2t
13 < 2t
13/2 < t
Or the temperature will drop below 32F after 6 and a half hours

Solve for each variable.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

a = 38⁰

b = 54⁰

c = 54⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 142⁰ = 180⁰ because a straight line = 180⁰

b + 38⁰ + 88⁰ = 180⁰ because the angles of a triangle equal 180⁰, and the missing measurement = 38⁰ because it is a vertical angle to angle a

c + 88⁰ = 142⁰ because the angles are corresponding angles

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 26 yards. The length is 4 more yards than twice the width. Find the length and width of
solong [7]

The formula for perimeter is P = 2length + 2width (P = 2L + 2W)

You know that the length is 4 more yards then twice the width. In equation form this would be:

length = 4 + 2w

Plug what you know into the perimeter formula:

26 = 2(4 + 2w) + 2w

First you must distribute the 2 to the numbers inside the parentheses, which would be 4 and 2w...

26 = (2 * 4) + (2 * 2w) + 2w

26 = 8 + 4w + 2w

Now you must combine like terms. This means that first numbers with  the same variables (w) must be combined...

26 = 8 + 4w + 2w

4w + 2w = 6w

26 = 8 + 6w

Now bring 8 to the left side by subtracting 8 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 8 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

26 - 8 = 8 - 8 + 6w

18 = 0 + 6w

18 = 6w

To isolate w divide 6 to both sides

18 / 6 = 6w / 6

w = 3

We know that the width is 3 ft

Now you must find the length. To do this plug 3 where you see w in the equation:

length = 4 + 2w

l = 4 + 2(3)

l = 4 + 6

l = 10

We know that length is 10 ft

Letter B. is the correct answer

Hope this helped!

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

12 hr. mowing lawns

28 hr. working at Mc Donalds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t = time mowing lawns

then 40 - t = time working at McDonalds

7,5(40 - t) + 6t = 282

300 - 7.5t + 6t = 282

-1.5t = -18

t = 12 hr. mowing lawns

40 - t = 40 - 12 = 28 hr. working at Mc Donalds
