Answer:
x=12 .
Step-by-step explanation:
See image below:)
Answer:
2x - 0.4x ;
8x/5 ;
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of miles = x
Arlene:
Double number of miles = 2 * x = 2x
Subtract 20% of the result :
2x - 20% of 2x ;
2x - 0.4x
Raul:
Divides Number of miles by 5 ; x / 5
Multiplies result by 8 ;
8 * (x/5) = 8x /5
To know if expressions are equivalent :
Let x = 10 miles
Using Arlene's expression:
2x - 0.4x
x = 10
2(10) - 0.4(10) = 16
Using Raul's expression :
8x / 5
(8*10) / 5
80/5
= 16
Since they give the same result, we can conclude that the expression are equivalent
3520:20 should be correct
Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles shown are alternate exterior angles.
Alternate exterior angles are congruent
This means that 46 must equal 3x - 14
Note that we've just created an equation that we can use to solve for
We now use the equation to solve for x
3x - 14 = 46
add 14 to both sides
3x - 14 + 14 = 46 + 14
simplify
3x = 60
Divide both sides by 3
3x / 3 = x
60 / 3 = 20
We get that x = 20
