Maya and Sally were the two finalists in a singing competition. The person with the most votes from the audience was chosen as t

he winner. Sally received 25% of the total votes and lost by 62,500 votes. No person in the audience was allowed to vote more than once. The equation below represents this situation, where y is the total number of votes cast and x is the number of votes Maya received:
x − 62,500 = 0.25y

<span>Substitute the value of y which is 125,000 in the equation x - 62,500 = 0.25y. The product of 0.25 and 125,000  is 31,250. Transpose 62,500 to the other side of the equation. Add 62,500 to 31,250. The number of votes Maya received which x represent is 93570,</span>

Answer:

Votes received by Maya = 93750.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation which represents the relation between total number of votes cast (y) and number of votes (x) Maya received is

x - 62500 = 0.25y

If the total number of people voted (y) = 125000

Then we have to calculate the votes received by Maya

x - 62500 = 0.25(125000)

x = 62500 + 0.25(125000)

x = 62500 + 31250

x = 93750 votes

Therefore, votes received by Maya are 93750.

A boat travels upstream for 2 hours. the return trip only takes 1.7 miles because the boat travels 2.5 miles faster downstream.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

the boat travel one way = 2 x 14.16 = 28.32 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

the return trip only takes 1.7 miles (?) ... is it 1.7 hours (?)

the boat travels 2.5 miles (per hour ?) faster downstream

I calculate it on the assumption of my guess stated above ...

X: represent the boat speed / hour

distance one way = 2X

and Distance also = 1.7 * (x + 2.5 ) on return

2x = 1.7 x + 1.7 * 2.5 = 1.7x + 4.25

0.3 x = 4.25

x = 14.16

the boat travel one way = 2 x 14.16 = 28.32 miles

Solve x - (-9) = -14. -23 23 -5 5
poizon [28]

Answer:

-23 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

-(-9) = 9

The thing with double negatives is that they form a plus sign, so that is really a POSITIVE nine. Therefore you do the inverse to find <em>x</em>: -14 - 9 = -23.
