2n-15=53
You need to get n by itself. To do that we need to simplify the left hand side of the equation. To do so, we move everything away from n. First add 15 to both sides to eliminate it on the left side.
2n-15+15=53+15
2n=68
next divide by 2 to solve for n
2n/2=68/2
n=34

First add 15 to both sides:

2n = 68

Then divide each side by two.

n = 34

1)Sheyna drive to the lake and back. It took two hours less time to get there than it did to get back. The average speed on the

ipn [44]

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sheyna drives to the lake with average speed of 60 mph and

$v_1 = 60\ mph$

Sheyna drives back from the lake with average speed of 36 mph

$v_2 = 36\ mph$

It took 2 hours less time to get there than it did to get back.

Let $t_1$ be the time taken to drive to lake.

Let $t_2$ be the time taken to drive back from lake.

$t_2-t_1 = 2$ hrs ..... (1)

To find:

Total time taken = ?

$t_1+t_2 = ?$

Solution:

Let D be the distance to lake.

Formula for time is given as:

$Time =\dfrac{Distance}{Speed }$

$t_1 = \dfrac{D}{60}\ hrs$

$t_2 = \dfrac{D}{36}\ hrs$

Putting in equation (1):

$\dfrac{D}{36}-\dfrac{D}{60} = 2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5D-3D}{180} = 2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2D}{180} = 2\\\Rightarrow D = 180\ miles$

So,

$t_1 = \dfrac{180}{60}\ hrs = 3 \ hrs$

$t_2 = \dfrac{180}{36}\ hrs = 5\ hrs$

So, the answer is:

$t_1+t_2 = \bold{8\ hrs}$
