Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Answer: x = 50</h3>
========================================
Explanation:
The angles shown are vertical angles. Any pair of vertical angles are always congruent (i.e. equal)
Set the two expressions equal to each other and solve for x.
2(x+10) = 3x-30
2x+20 = 3x-30 ... distribute
2x+20-2x = 3x-30-2x ... subtract 2x from both sides
20 = x-30
20+30 = x-30+30 ... add 30 to both sides
50 = x
x = 50
---------
Check:
Plug x = 50 into the equation. Both sides should result in the same value
2(x+10) = 3x-30
2(50+10) = 3*50-30
2(60) = 3*50-30
120 = 150-30
120 = 120
The answer is confirmed.
Answer:
1 mile = 8.5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Determining the equation:</u>
Kira ran 8 1/5 miles in 69 7/10 minutes.
⇒ Kira = 8 1/5 miles = 69 7/10 minutes
⇒ 41/5 miles = 697/10 minutes
<u>Simplifying both sides:</u>
⇒ 41/5 miles = 697/10 minutes
⇒ 41 miles = 697/2 minutes
<u>Using cross multiplication:</u>
⇒ 41 × 2 miles = 697 minutes
⇒ 82 miles = 697 minutes
<u>Dividing 82 both sides:</u>
⇒ 82 miles = 697 minutes
⇒ 82/82 miles = 697/82 minutes
⇒ 1 mile = 8.5 minutes
