Boy record = 25 feet 8 inches
Girl record = 19 feet 19 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 25 feet 8 inches / 19 feet 19 inches
Change the feet into inches
1 feet = 12 inches
25 feet = 25* 12 = 300 inches + 8 inches = 308 inches

19 feet = 19 * 12= 228 inches + 19 inches = 247 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 308 inches / 247 inches
Boy record / Girl record = 1.246 inches
Boy record = 1.246 Girl record
So
it is 1.246 times greater than girls record.

5 (x + 2) = 3 (x + 8)
aleksley [76]
So first you distribute the 5 to the x and the +2 and get
5x+10=3(x+8)
 then you distribute the 3 to the other x and the +8 and get
5x+10=3x+24
subtract 3x from both sides
2x+10=24
subtract 10 from both sides and get
2x=14
divide both sides by 2 and get
x=7

Yes, it is an equivalent expression because even though you move two pieces of an equation it will still equal the same thing, unless there are parentheses involved.
