Answer:
Each friend ate 4 tacos.
Step-by-step explanation:
"4 of his friends ate s tacos" is unclear. I assume it should be
"4 of his friends ate s tacos each."
total tacos = 2 + 4s = 18
4s = 16
s = 4
His four friends ate a total of 16 tacos, each friend eating 4 tacos.
Ricky's reason, i.e., that 6s = 18, is incorrect.
6s = 4s+2s, where 4s is what his friends ate in total.
That implies that Ricky ate 2s tacos, instead of 2 tacos. If 2s = 2 then s = 1, but then 6s ≠ 18.
Answer:
$123,200
Step-by-step explanation:
0.06 x 2 = 0.12
140,000 x 0.12 = 16,800
140,000 - 16,800 = 123,200

Answer:
To check if a given value is a solution to an equation:
Evaluate the left-hand side expression at the given value to get a number.
Evaluate the right-hand side expression at the given value to get a number.
See if the numbers match.
You figure out how long it would take a car traveling at 25 mph
to cover 360 ft. Any driver who does it in less time is speeding.
(25 mi/hr) · (5,280 ft/mile) · (1 hr / 3,600 sec)
= (25 · 5280 / 3600) ft/sec = (36 and 2/3) feet per second.
To cover 360 ft at 25 mph, it would take
360 ft / (36 and 2/3 ft/sec) = 9.82 seconds .
Anybody who covers the 360 feet in less than 9.82 seconds
is moving faster than 25 mph.

If you're interested, here's how to do it in the other direction:
Let's say a car covers the 360 feet in ' S ' seconds.
What's the speed of the car ?
(360 ft / S sec) · (1 mile / 5280 feet) · (3600 sec/hour)
= (360 · 3600) / (S · 5280) mile/hour
= 245.5 / S miles per hour .
The teacher timed one car crossing both strips in 7.0 seconds.
How fast was that car traveling ?
245.5 / 7.0 = 35.1 miles per hour
Another teacher timed another car that took 9.82 seconds to cross
both strips. How fast was this car traveling ?
245.5 / 9.82 = 25 miles per hour
