What is the solution to the equation 2/3 x + 1 = 1/6 x -7

Mathematics
1 answer:
slamgirl [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 x + 1 = 1/6 x -7

Multiply both sides of the equation by 6 to eliminate the fraction

6*(2/3 x + 1) =6( 1/6 x -7)

4x +6 = x -42

Subtract x from each side

4x-x +6 = -42

3x +6= - 42

Subtract 6 from each side

3x+6-6 = -42-6

3x = -48

3x/3 = -48/3

x = -16

On a beach trip, Lucy rents a bike from “Wheels by the Waves”, where they rent bikes for $12 plus $3 per hour. If Lucy spent $30
Paul [167]

Answer: 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation: If you write an equation for this scenario it would be y = 12+3x. 12 is the starting value and x represents how many hours the bike is rented, therefore 3 dollars would be added to the initial 12 each hour. So if Lucy spent $30 then it would change to 30= 12+3x. Now you essentially just need to work backwards. Rearrange the equation and move 12 to the left of the equal sign to make 30-12=3x. Combine vairable to make 18=3x. Divide 3x by 3 to isolate x and divide 18 by 3 as well to make it even. This looks like 18/3=3x/3. Meaning it would end up as 6=x.

A cubical tank of edge 12 cm is half filled with water. The water is poured into an empty rectangular tank measuring 10 cm by 8
qaws [65]

Answer:

3040000mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cube = a³ ; a = size of edge

Volume of cubical tank = 12³ = 12 * 12 * 12 = 1728 cm³

Half filled cube = 1728 / 2 = 864 cm³

Volume is f rectangular tank :

V = length * width * height

V = 10 * 8 * 7 = 560 cm³

Volume of water left in cubical tank :

(864 - 560) = 304cm³

1cm³ = 1000mm³

304cm³ = 304 * 1000 = 3040000mm³
