Distribute 2 and remove parentheses :
1/2x+8=3x-6
Multiply both sides of equation by 2:
x+16=6x-12
Move terms:
x+16-6x=-12
x-6x=-12-16
Collect like terms:
-5x=-28
Divide both sides:
x=28/5
Answer: $6.48

Distance: 25 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
we have distances between cities as follows:
From Portland to Tacoma: 120 miles

from Tacoma to Seattle : 25 miles (according graph)
Answer:
8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
In 2 hours, the clerical secretary can do 1/4 of the job. (The executive secretary does 3/4 of the job - or 3 times as much - in the same 2 hours.)
Since it takes the clerical secretary 2 hours to do 1/4 of the job, it will take them four times that to do it themselves. 2x4=8.
