Let
x-----------> the distances measured in miles
<span> Abby method
1)2x
2)2x-20%------> 2x-0.4x
</span>algebraic expression<span>-----> [2x-0.4x]---------> 1.6x
</span> Renato method
1)x/5
2)(x/5)*8-------> 8x/5
algebraic expression----->[8x/5]---------------> 1.6x<span>
Part B)
</span>[2x-0.4x]=[8x/5]---------> 1.6x=8x/5--------> 5*(1.6x)=8x-------> 8x=8x
therefore
<span>the two methods give the same answer
the answer is 1.6x</span>
Answer:
it is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Should be 11 and 6 because when you add 11 and 6 you get 17 and when you subtract them you get 5
Answer:
a) no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
there is no solution because absolute values can never equal a negative
Answer:
You multiply 5 by 1/5 to get 1. So with 2x, you multiply by 1/(2x) to get 1. That's about all you know, since we only know that x is positive.
