Step-by-step explanation:
how many slices does each pizza have? anyways if its 8 (normally)
8 x 3 = 24 / 5 = 4.2 slices each
or nah?
First you need to find the rate. This problem is based on the formula d = rt
d = distance
r = rate
t = time.
The question is asking how many miles will it travel in 8 hours so to find this out we need to find the rate when the car travels 240 miles in 4 hours. We use this information and plug it into the model d = rt
d = 240
r = don't know yet
t = 4 hr
d = rt
240 = 4r
240 / 4 = 4r / 4
60 = r
r = 60
So the car is going at a rate of 60 miles per hour. Now that we know this we can solve for how many miles the car will travel in 8 hours.
d = rt
d = r * t
d = 60 * 8
d = 480
So the car will travel 480 miles in 8 hours
Another way to think about this is that you know the car traveled 240 miles in 4 hours and the question is wanting to know how far the car will travel in 8 hours, which would be double the 4 hours so 240 + 240 = 480
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
-8(-3 + x) = -56
Distribute the -8 into the (-3 + x).
24 - 8x = -56
Subtract 24 from both sides.
-8x = -80
Divide both sides by -8.
x = 10.
Proof:
-8(-3 + x) = -56
Substitute variable.
-8(-3 + 10) = -56
Add inside parenthesis.
-8(7) = -56
Multiply.
-56 = -56
