Answer: The number is 0.75 or 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the number.

Now set up an equation: The product of a number (x) and -4 = -4x. So -4x is subtracted from the number - x.     x-(-4x)

Then, that equals 3 more than the number (x) = x+3

So the equation is x-(-4x)=x+3.

Then, solve the equation!

x-(-4x)=x+3

x+4x=x+3  (Distribute the negative to the parentheses)

5x=x+3  (Combine like terms)

4x=3  (Get the Xs on one side by subtracting x from both sides)

x=0.75 or 3/4  (divide by the coefficiant, 4, on both sides)

An olympian swam the 200-meter freestyle at a speed of 1.8 meters per second. An olympic runner ran the 200-meter dash in 21.3 s
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

7.6m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the time the Olympian swam

Speed=distance/time ⇒⇒Time=distance/speed

Distance=200m , speed= 1.8m/s   t= 200/1.8 = 111.11 seconds

Find the speed of the Olympic runner

Distance=200m  time = 21.3 sec  

s=200/21.3 = 9.4 m/s

Difference in speed= 9.4-1.8= 7.6m/s
