We have a ratio of 3 hours / 7.5 miles
We want to know how many miles he can walk in 1 hour so, divide both sides by 3 -> 1 hour / 2.5 miles
He is walking at 2.5 mph

divide total distance by time

7.5 miles / 3 hours = 2.5 miles per hour is his speed

6 children and 2 adults are going to the circus, children tickets are on sale, half the price of adult tickets totaling $54. How

inna [77]

Answer:

Price of 1 child ticket is $5.4

Price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

6 children and 2 adults are going for circus.

Children ticket is half the price of adult ticket.

Total ticketing cost =$54

To find:-

Cost of 1 child ticket=?

Cost of 1 Adult ticket=?

Solution:-

Let price of 1 child ticket be x and price of 1 adult ticket be y,

therefore from the given data we get 2 equations,

$6x+2y=54$ -----------------------------------(1)

$x=\frac{1}{2} y$ --------------------------------(2)

Now, substituting the value of x from equation 2 in equation 1,

$6x+2y=54$

$6(\frac{1}{2} y)+2y=54$

$\frac{6}{2}y+2y=54$

$3y+2y=54$

$5y=54$

$\therefore y=\frac{54}{5}$

$\therefore y =10.8$ ------------------------(3)

Now, substituting the value of y from equation 3 in equation 2,

$x=\frac{1}{2} y$

$\therefore x=\frac{1}{2} \times 10.8$ ------------(from equation 3)

$\therefore x=\frac{10.8}{2}$

$\therefore x=5.4$ ----------------------(4)

As, x is price of 1 child ticket and y is price of 1 adult ticket,

Therefore price of 1 child ticket is $5.4 and price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8

If (x – 4) + 6 = 2 - (4 - 2x), then x =<br> A. -4<br> B. -2<br> C. 2<br> D. 4

blondinia [14]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove the parentheses and turn the 4-2x and make it into 4+2x candle the equal term -4 and should be left with x+6=2+2x then move the variable to the left and change the sign so it would be x-2x=2-6 and collect like terms so it would be -x=2-6 and then calculate that and get -x= -4
