Answer: x = -2
Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>x</em>, in the equation you see here, our goal is to get <em>x</em> by itself.
Our first step will be to isolate the term containing <em>x</em> which in this case is 4x. To isolate 4x, we have to get rid of the +3 by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation. On the left, +3 and -3 cancel out and we're left with 4x. On the right, -5 - 3 simplifies to -8.
Now we have the equation 4x = -8.
To get <em>x</em> by itself, we divide both sides of the equation by 4. On the left, the 4's cancel and on the right, -8 divided by 3 is -2 so <em>x = -2</em>
Answer: 7 hrs 42 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
San Antonio to Houston 3 1/3
Houston to Dallas 4 1/12
3 1/3 + 4 1/12=10/3+48/12=89/12=75/12
7 5/12= 7.4166667
= 7hrs and 42 mins
1/8 of her time was spent on things other than working with clients. 1/8 = 0.125 * 100 = 12.5%
From the information in the problem, the ratio of defective cameras to cameras shipped is
. Reducing this ratio, we get the simplified form of
which, incidentally, gives us our answer. We have
1 defective camera for every 200 cameras shipped.
This is not an arithmetic sequence.
It does not go up or down by the same amount each time.
It is a geometric sequence
it is multiplied by 5 each time
