The question is worded poorly, but it looks like you have a lever in equilibrium, with a force x at a distance d from the fulcrum, and a force y at a distance L - d from the fulcrum. You already have the equilibrium formula for this situation:
xd = y(L - d)
If you know x, y, and d, you can solve for the length L.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation
6n - 6 = 2 (n+1)
Simplify 2 (n+1)
6n - 6= 2n +2
Move all terms related to n to the left side of the equation
4n -6 =2
Move all terms not related to n to the right side of the equation
4n =8
Divide each term by 4 then simplify
n=2
Number of times she climbed 5-mile mountain trail = x
Number of times she climbed 10-mile trail = y
total distance of the 5-mile mountain trail will be = 5*x =5x
total distance of the 10-mile mountain trail will be = 10*y = 10y
equation that can be used to find the number of times she hiked each trail is therefore
5x + 10y = 90
Answer:
<h2>x = 1</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Look a t the picture.
The triangles on the picture are similar.
Therefore the sides are in proportion:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>divide both sides by 40</em>
