5x(8 - 4)/4 - 2
Remember to follow PEMDAS.
First, subtract 8 and 4
8 - 4 = 4
5x(4)/4 - 2
Next, follow the left -> right rule, and multiply 5x and 4
5x(4) = 20x
Divide by 4
20x/4 = 5x
Finally, note that one has a variable, and the other has a constant, and so you cannot combine.
5x - 2 is your answer
hope this helps
The question is saying that the line KJ is approximately equal to the line JN and that the line JN is perpendicular to the line NL. The line labeled LKN is shorter than LNK due to the fact that the line segments in LNK are longer because JN is perpendicular to NL:)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion.
3/25 = x / 20 Notice that both times are in the denominators. Be sure you always set up a proportion that way. Like units in the denominator. Like units in the numerator.
Cross multiply
3 * 20 = 25 * x Combine
60 = 25x Divide by 25
60/25 = x
x = 2.4 miles in 20 minutes.
8 because the line is going up by 1 as seen from 4 and 6
