Let x be the no. of seconds it takes for the balloons to be at the same height.
7+3x = 12+2x
Deduct both sides by 2x.
7+x = 12
Deduct both sides by 7.
x = 5
Ans: It will take 5 seconds for the balloons to be at the same height.
Answer: 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
595 - 393.75 = 131.25
131.25 (amount of change)/ 525 (original amount) x 100%
= 25%
Answer:
0.006 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Speed in cm per minute ( 17 cm per min)
We are required to convert cm per minute to miles an hour
we need to know that;
1 miles = 160934 cm
1 hour = 60 minutes
We can convert 17 cm to miles and 1 minute to hours
17 cm = 17 ÷ 160934 cm
= 17/160934
1 minute = 1/60 hour
Therefore;
In miles per hour;
= (17/160934) ÷ (1/60)
= 0.00634 miles per hour
= 0.006 miles per hour
Therefore, 17 cm per minute is equivalent to 0.006 miles per hour
I'm thinking this is what the problem looks like:
. The first thing to do is to move the
over to the other side because it has a common denominator with the other side. Doing that and at the same time combining them over their common denominator looks like this:
. The best way to solve for x now is to cross-multiply to get 3(4-x)=-4(x-4). Distributing through the parenthesis is 12 - 3x = -4x + 16. Solving for x gives us x = 4. Of course when we sub a 4 back in for x we get real problems, don't we? Dividing by zero breaks every rule in math that there ever was! So, yes, the solution is extraneous.
