Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. cross multiply to get
5(4x+2)= 35(x-1)
2. distribute
20x+10=35x-35
3. combine like terms
45=15x
4. divide :)
3=x
Let the slower runners speed be X kilometers per hour.
Then the faster runners speed would be X+2 kilometers per hour.
The formula for distance is Speed times time.
The distance is given as 30 kilometers and time is given as 3 hours.
Since there are two runners you need to add the both of them together.
The equation becomes 30 = 3x + 3(x+2)
Now solve for x:
30 = 3x + 3(x+2)
Simplify:
30 = 3x + 3x +6
30 = 6x + 6
Subtract 6 from each side:
24 = 6x
Divide both sides by 6:
x = 24/6
x = 4
The slower runner ran at 4 kilometers per hour.
The faster runner ran at 4+2 = 6 kilometers per hour.
Answer:
x= -5-
/4, - 5+/4
Step-by-step explanation:
solve the equation for x by finding a,b, and c of the quadratic then applying the quadratic formula (the full thing under "answer:" is the exact answer
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
all the other answers just dont make enough sense to be true, so that is why A is correct
also, just go through each answer and see if it makes any sense
2x+7=?
X=6
2(6)+7=
12+7=19
In six years, the tree will be 19ft
2x+7=44
Minus seven on both sides
2x=37
Divide two from both sides
X=18.5
Thus, it will take 18 and a half years for the tree to reach 44ft
