Answer:
when you have two fractions that equal each other you want to solve by using cross multiply
What cross multiply is, is when you multiply diagonally so:
8/x=14/7
you would take 14*x and 8*7
14x=56 (you would then divide each side by 14)
x=4 (14/14=1, 56/14=4)
8/4=14/7
To check your work you could simplify
8/4=2
14/7=2
2=2, which is true
x=4
Hope this helps ;)
Answer:
I would set this up as:
let: lesser number = x
greater number = 2x + 5
Restating the word problem:
lesser number + greater number = 38
x + 2x + 5 = 38
Solving: 3x + 5 = 38
- 5 -5
---------------
3x = 33

3 3
x = 11
Substitution for the greater number:
2(11) + 5
22 + 5
27
Step-by-step explanation:
The line passes through the origin and point (30,3)
so, slope of the graph( miles per minute)= 3/30 = 1/10 miles per minute
Or, slope of the graph miles per hour
