8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44
mutiply the bracket by -4
(-4)(5) = -20
(-4)(-x)= 4x
8x-20+4x= -44
8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )
12x-20= -44
move -20 to the other side
sign changes from -20 to +20
12x-20+20= -44+20
12x= -44+20
12x= -24
divide both sides by 12
12x/12= -24/12
Answer: x= -2
900 - 250 = 650
650 / 250 = 13 / 3 = 2.6 = 260%
1 foot = 12 inches
1in : 2 feet
1in : 24in
Answer:
6750
Step-by-step explanation:
simple interest = P×r%×t
P = $6000
r = 2.5%
t = 5 years
I = 6000 × 2.5/100 × 5
= 750
6000 + 750 = $6750
a) You are given the rate as 7.4m/min,
The equation would become d = 7.4t where d is the total distance and t would be the total number of minutes.
b) d would be a positive number because the diver is ascending, which means he is moving up towards the surface.
c) To find how long it took the diver, replace d with 41.36 ( how deep the diver was) and solve for t:
41.36 = 7.4t
To solve for t, divide both sides by 7.4:
t = 41.36 / 7.4
t = 5.59 minutes ( 5 minutes and 35 seconds)
