Answer:
- 2x - 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 3(4x + 5) - 2(- 5x + 8)
Multiply the terms in the first parenthesis by - 3 and the terms in the second parenthesis by - 2
= - 12x - 15 + 10x - 16 ← collect like terms
= (- 12x + 10x) + (- 15 - 16)
= - 2x - 31
We calculate both velocities:
upstream 8 miles in 2 hours = 4 miles / hour
downstream 8 miles in 1 hour = 8 miles / hour
ps -stream speed = 4 mph
ps + stream speed = 8 mph
Adding both equations
2 ps = 12 mph
paddling speed = 6 mph
stream speed = 2 mph
Answer:
1/5,30%,75%,5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
first turn all of them in to decimals:
1/5=0.20
30%=0.30
75%=0.75
5/6=0.83
then put the decimals in order from least to greatest
done!
Oldest = 2x
Middle = x + 5
Youngest = x
2x + x + 5 + x = 57
combine like terms
4x + 5 = 57
subtract 5 from both sides
4x = 52
divide both sides by 4 to isolate x
x = 13
Oldest = 2x = 2(13) = 26
Middle = x + 5 = 13 + 5 = 18
Youngest = x = 13
