First one simplifies to 2x + 6 = 2x + 7 which can't be true so this one has No Solution.
Same applies to the second equation ( 5x + 15 = 5x - 15) No solution
also the last one has no solution because it simplifies to 4x + 20 = 4x + 19
Answer: he hiked 5.6 miles up the canyon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent his speed hiking uphill.
His speed running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than his speed hiking uphill. This means that his speed running downhill would be x + 2.8
Distance = speed × time
Kevin hiked up Lamb’s Canyon in 2 hours. This means that the distance covered by hiking uphill is 2 × x = 2x
He ran back downhill in 1 hour. This means that the distance covered by running downhill is 1 × (x + 2.8) =
x + 2.8
Since the distance uphill is the same as the distance downhill, then
2x = x + 2.8
2x - x = 2.8
x = 2.8
Therefore, the distance hiked up the canyon is
2x = 2 × 2.8 = 5.6 miles
Answer: The slope is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
¤ 6n-12=n+3
¤ 6n-n=12+3
¤ 5n=15
¤ n=15÷5
¤ n=3
Scores are {72, 97, 82, x} where x is the unknown fourth score
They add up to 72+97+82+x = x+251
Divide this sum over four because there are four scores we want to average out. We end up with (x+251)/4 = M where M is the mean. Asa wants the mean to be 82, so make M = 82.
We can replace M with 82 and solve for x like so
(x+251)/4 = M
(x+251)/4 = 82
x+251 = 4*82
x+251 = 328
x = 328-251
x = 77
Asa needs a score of 77 on the fourth test so that the mean of the four tests is 82. If she scores higher than 77 on the fourth test, then the mean will be larger than 82.
-----------------------------------
Depending on what your teacher is looking for, the first step is to establish your variable. So you would say "let x = fourth score". However, that seems too easy. So perhaps your teacher is looking for the equation (x+251)/4 = 82 or some variant of it.
