9 / 5/8 =
9/1 / 5/8 =
9/1 * 8/5 = 72/5 = 14 2/5
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
n-8
Step-by-step explanation:
difference means subtraction so it can't be 8n which is multiplication or 8-0 because n is not represented.
Answer:
6-hours
D = C + T
Step-by-step explanation:
The following equations represent the total distance travelled by each vehicle, the truck (C) and the Train (T) where x is the amount of time travelling in hours...
C = 45x
T = 60x
Since the truck traveled 2 hours longer than the train we can add this value to the variable x in the truck's distance equation and then make both equations equal one another to calculate the number of hours before they cover the same distance...
45(x+2) = 60x ... distribute 45 evenly
45x + 90 = 60x ... subtract 45x from both sides
90 = 15x ... divide both sides by 15
6 = x
Finally, we can see that both vehicles would have traveled the same distance at the 6-hour mark. Now to calculate the total distance traveled (D) we can use the following equation...
D = C + T
Hey there!
Let's set up our expression:
(7a-6b+7)-(8a-2)
In order to simplify, we can use that subtraction sign and distribute it, using the distributive property. We have:
7a-6b+7-8a+2
Notice how it's plus two, because a negative times a negative two is a positive two. Now, it's a matter of finding the like terms and adding or subtracting them. These like terms can either have no variable, or have different coefficients but the same variable. That means our like terms are the 7a and -8a, and the 7 and 2. There's no like term for the 6b. That means we have:
(7a-8a) - 6b + (7+2) =
-a - 6b + 9
Hope this helps!
