Answer:
x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
144-24 =120
120/15=8
x=8
5 miles and 8 ft because 8,800 yard is equal to 5 miles and 5 miles and 8 ft is larger than 5 miles
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
cross multiply
5(x+3)=3(x+7)
5x+15=3x+21
5x+15-3x=3x+21-3x
2x+15=21
2x+15-15=21-15
2x=6
x=3
Answer:
500 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the pressure applied to the leverage bar be represented by p
Let the distance from the object be represented by d.
The pressure applied to a leverage bar varies inversely as the distance from the object.
Written mathematically, we have:

Introducing the constant of proportionality

If 150 pounds is required for a distance of 10 inches from the object

Therefore, the relationship between p and d is:

When d=3 Inches

The pressure applied when the distance is 3 inches is 500 pounds.
It is 3 because you take 5 times 3 and it equals 15
