Megan's solution isn't correct.
The first mistake: she subtracted 5x from the right-hand side of the equation, but added 5x to the left-hand side.
The second mistake: she divided the right-hand side of the equation by 11, but didn't divide the left-hand side.
The correct solution:
Answer:
The Answer is: x = 1.444 with repeating 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
212x - 34(2x + 5) = 38
212x - 68x - 170 = 38
212x - 68x = 38 + 170
144x = 208
x = 208/144 = 52/35 or 1.444
Proof:
212(1.444) - 34(2(1.444) + 5) = 38
306.128 - 34(7.888) = 38
306.128 - 268.192 = 37.936 or approximately 38
Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)
21 I think I'm not sure tho
Answer:
4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the time to returned back biking in hours
d ---> the distance in miles
s ---> speed in miles per hour
Remember that
The speed or rate is equal to divide the distance by the time
The distance is equal to multiply the speed by the time
we know that
The distance to his friend's house and the distance of return is the same
so
solve for x
subtract 4x both sides
The total distance of the round trip is
substitute the value of x
Answer:
k = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
12/k = 18/42
Cross multiply.
18k = 12 * 42
18k = 504
Divide both sides by 18.
k = 28
