Solve for x. 8(9x-4)-2=3+2

1 answer:

6 0

So first you have to move the -2 over to the opposite side.
8(9x-4)=3+2+2
Then you can simplify the right side
8(9x-4)=7
Then you distribute
8*9x=72x
8*-4=-32
so now you have...
72x-32=7
Then you move the 37 over
72x=39
Then you divide by 72 to isolate x
x=39/72 or x= 13/24 or <span>x=0.54167</span>

Answer:

For the first 30 minutes, we will have a line with a given steepness, this will represent the 30 minutes riding at a fast pace.

Then he stops for 20 minutes, we will represent this with a constant line.

Then he again moves for another 30 minutes, but with a slower pace than in the first 30 minutes, then this line will be less steep than the first line.

A sketch of this situation can be seen below.
