• What is the solution to 5x+ 20 = 7(x+2)?

Mathematics

For this case we must find the solution of the following equation:

5x + 20 = 7 (x + 2)

Applying distributive property on the right side of the equation we have:

5x + 20 = 7x + 14

Subtracting 7x from both sides of the equation:

5x-7x + 20 = 14\\-2x + 20 = 14

Subtracting 20 from both sides of the equation:

-2x = 14-20

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

-2x = -6

Dividing between -2 on both sides of the equation:

x = \frac {-6} {- 2}\\x = 3

Thus, the solution of the equation isx = 3

Answer:

x = 3

Two towns, Ancaster and Dundas, are 4 km and 6 km, respectively, from an old railroad line that has been made into a bike trail.
serg [7]
Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point  to the rest stop is  8 - x

You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop. 

Now by the Pythagorean theorem,  y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and  z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2

So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize. 

Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.

Zach read a book for 10 minutes every weekend in the first month, 20 minutes in the second month, 40 minutes in the third month,
inn [45]
The correct answer would be Victoria's method is linear because the number of minutes increased by an equal number every month. Every month Victoria read for 15 minutes more, than she did the previous month, but Zach read 2 times more minutes, than he did the month before.
