30 + 2w = 2 • (w - 15)

Equation at the end of step 1 :
Step 2 :
Equations which are never true :
Solve : 2 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation
Solve : w-15 = 0

Add 15 to both sides of the equation :
w = 15

You are trying to solve for "w", to do so you:

20 + 2w = 50 Subtract 20 on both sides

2w = 30 Divide 2 on both sides to get "w" by itself

w = 15

Your answer is B

Grace has a 15 inch diameter bicycle tire. How many revolutions will it make traveling 500 feet?

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Revolution = 127.24 revolutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of the tire = πD

Where D = 15 inch

So,

C = 15π = 47.1 inch

In feets:

47.1 inch = 3.93 feet.

So, one revolution = 3.93 feet

Travelling 500 feet will make the following revolutions:

Revolution = 500 feet/3.93 feet

Revolution = 127.24 revolutions

If there were 180 taking the survey and 95 were female, that means that there were 85 males.

Since only 21 of the males said red was their favorite color, we can write the fraction 21/85.

21 / 85 x 100 = 24.7%

24.7% of the males said red was their favorite color.
