According to the question,
Let,
"n" represent the number of miles semir walked.
"y" represent the number of miles sarah walked.
Now, according to the question,
y = 2n - 5 ........................this is your equation
Also,
the question states, each of them collect $18 in pledges for every miles walked.
Given,
Sarah collected $450
Now,
Using unitary method,
Sarah collects $18 for 1 mile
Sarah collects $1 for (1 / $18) mile
Sarah collects $450 for (1 / 18) * 450 mile
= 25 miles
So, Sarah walks 25 miles.
Now,
Taking equation,
y = 2n - 5
Since, y is the no. of miles sarah walked, we can write 25 in place of "y" So,
(25) = 2n - 5
25 + 5 = 2n
30 = 2n
30 / 2 = n
15 = n
Since, "n" is the no. of miles that semir walked, Semir walked 15 miles.
If we set the unknown distance (in miles) as x, then we set up an equation according to the data, we can solve for x.
Time taken to go to resort : x/48
Time taken to return : x/40
Total time = x/48+x/40 = 11
Solve for x
common multiple between 48 and 40 = 240
so
5x/240 + 6x/240 = 11
(5x+6x)/240 = 11
11x = 11*240, => x=240
Distance from home to resort is 240 miles
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
6.78x - 5.2 = 4.33x + 2.15
6.78x - 4.33x = 5.2 + 2.15
2.45x = 7.35
x = 7.35/2.45
x = 3
Thus, The value of x is 3
