Mathematics
1 answer:
LekaFEV [45]4 years ago
5 0
0.5(5 - 7x) = 8 - (4x + 6)
2.5 - 3.5x = 8 - 4x - 6
2.5 - 3.5x = 2 - 4x
-3.5x + 4x = 2 - 2.5
0.5x = - 0.5
x = - 0.5/0.5
x = -1 <==

hram777 [196]

Answer:

3.3m+1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 5 and 0.9m

Multiply 5 and 0.5

5 times 0.9m is 4.5m

5 times 0.5 is 2.5

Multiply -3 and 0.4m

Multiply -3 and 0.7

-3 times 0.4m is -1.2m

-3 times -.7 is -2.1

4.5m+ 2.5 -1.2m-2.1

Which is 3.3m+1.4

Hope this helps!

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

1800 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May = 75

It is given that miles driven in July is 6 times of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May(75 miles).

Thus

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July = 6 * No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in May   = 6*75 = 450 miles.

__________________________________________________

Another condition given   that miles driven in June is 4 times of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July(450miles as calculated above).

Thus

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in June = 4 * No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in July   = 4* 450 miles = 1800 miles.

No. of miles driven by Mr. Thomas in June is 1800 miles.
