Answer: x=21

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x you must first combine you like terms on each side of the equal sign. So you problem will become 8x+1=22+7x. Then get your x on one side and your numbers on the other by taking the one away from the right side and 1 away from 22. Then take away 7 from the left side to cancel it out. Then take 7x away from 8x to leave you with x. making your answer x=21

Answer:

<h2>x = 21</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 1 + 5x = 7 + 15 + 7x          <em>combine like terms</em>

(3x + 5x) + 1 = (7 + 15) + 7x

8x + 1 = 22 + 7x            <em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>

8x = 21 + 7x           <em>subtract 7x from both sides</em>

x = 21

Suppose you hike 3 miles from the campgrounds to the lake at a rate of x miles per hour. On your way back from the lake to the c
quester [9]

Answer: The following three equations could be used to determine the rate:

x*(time there) = 3 miles

(x+1)*(time back) = 3 miles

(time there) + (time back) = 2.5 hr

Step by step (including the actual solution x):

Equation for the trip there:

x*(time there) = 3 miles

Equation for the trip back:

(x+1)*(time back) = 3 miles

And we also know that:

(time there) + (time back) = 2.5 hr

So we have three equations with three unknowns and can solve for x.  Let us call

(time there): t1

(time back): t2

x\cdot t_1 = 3\\(x+1)\cdot t_2 = 3\\t_1 + t_2 = 2.5\implies t_1 = 2.5-t_2\\\\x(2.5-t_2) = 3\\(x+1)\cdot t_2 = 3\\\\...\implies x = 2, t_1=1.5, t_2=1\\

The solution (I skipped the gory details of solving, but you can verify by plugging the values back into the equations) is

Rate x = 2 miles/hour

(time there) = 1.5 hours

(time back) = 1 hour

Help me out in this one pliz i need help
anyanavicka [17]
Hello : 
the general term is : an = a1×r^(n-1)
a1 : the first term....( a1 = 6)
r : the common ratio......( r = -1/3 )
when : n = 8     a8 is the eighth term :  a8 = 6×(-1/3)^7
a8 =- 6×(1/3)^7  because : (-1/3)^7 = -  (1/3)^7 
a8 = -2 ×(3/3^7)
a8 = -2×(1/3^6)
a8 = (-2)/[ 3^6 ]

Un estudiante debe recorrer dos tercios de kilómetro para llegar al colegio, si avanza medio kilómetro en bus y lo demás a pie ¿
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Al estudiante le falta caminar \frac{1}{3} de kilómetro.

Step-by-step explanation:

Un estudiante debe recorrer dos tercios de kilómetro para llegar al colegio. Dos tercios equivale a la fracción \frac{2}{3} .

El estudiante avanza medio kilómetro en bus. Un medio equivale a la fracción \frac{1}{2}, por lo tanto un medio es la mitad de una cantidad.  Para calcular la distancia recorrida en bus se realiza la siguiente multiplicación:

\frac{1}{2} *\frac{2}{3}

Resolviendo:

\frac{1}{2} *\frac{2}{3} =\frac{1*2}{2*3} =\frac{2}{6} =\frac{1}{3}

Entonces, la distancia recorrida en bus es \frac{1}{3} de kilómetro.

Para calcular la distancia recorrida a pie se calcula la diferencia entre la distancia total a recorrer por el estudiante y la distancia recorrida en bus. Esto es:

\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}

Resolviendo:

\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}=\frac{2-1}{3} =\frac{1}{3}

<u><em>Al estudiante le falta caminar </em></u>\frac{1}{3}<u><em> de kilómetro.</em></u>
