Answer:
your answer is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
have a great day! :)
The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:
1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________
1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6
Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.
5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6
Then, simplify
65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100
100*2.2=220
80*2=176
220+176=396
So the two trains will take 2.2 hours so that they are 396 miles apart.
A, B and C but I’m contemplating D too but it’s def not E or F
The answer is
C. - (x + 3)(x - 4)
because if you solve this....
- (x + 3)(x - 4)
(-x - 3)(x - 4)
-x^2 +4x - 3x + 12
-x^2 + x + 12
