Answer: 3
Reason: I just did 150 miles divided by 50, and I received the answer 3
<em>I hope this helps, and Happy Holidays! :)</em>
Let us assume the first number = x
Then the second number = 5x -2
The third number = x + 4
The total number that needs to be divided into three parts is 219
Then we can write the equation as
x + 5x - 2 + x + 4 = 219
7x + 2 = 219
7x = 219 - 2
7x = 217
x = 217/7
= 31
Then
First number = 31
Second number = 5x - 2
= (5 * 31) - 2
= 155 -2
= 153
Third number = x + 4
= 31 + 4
= 35
So the three numbers are 31, 153 and 35.
Answer:Corey was travelling at 9 miles per hour and Tom was travelling at 13 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent Corey's speed.
If Tom travels 4 mph faster than Corey, it means that Tom's speed would be (x + 4) mph
Corey is 176 miles from Tom and they are traveling towards each other. If they meet after 8 hours, it means that they travelled a total distance of 176 miles in 8 hours.
Distance = speed × time
Distance travelled by Corey in 8 hours would be
8 × x = 8x miles
Distance travelled by Tom in 8 hours would be
8(x + 4) = (8x + 32) miles
Since the total distance travelled by Tom and Corey is 176 miles, then
8x + 8x + 32 = 176
16x = 176 - 32 = 144
x = 144/16 = 9 miles per hour
Tom's speed would be
9 + 4 = 13 miles per hour
Answer:
$5 for a dog treat
$3 for a cat treat
Step-by-step explanation:
week 1: 6d + 4c = 42
week 2: 2d + 7c = 31
*used calculator & guessed what each treat costs*
WEEK 1:
6(5) + 4(3) = 42
30 + 12 = 42
42 = 42
WEEK 2:
2(5) + 7(3) = 31
10 + 21 = 31
31 = 31
Answer:
$21.00
Step 1- Solve 40% of $15.00
=$6.00
Step 2- Add the 40% to the discount amount
=$6.00+$15.00=$21.00
