Answer: the answer is 54
Step-by-step explanation: The error in the expression was that it was multiplied by 1 so it can't be one unless it was also 1 and it's not it is 54.
B
1/4 = 8/3 * x
X = 8/12
X= 2/3
Answer:
27 miles in the morning and 85 miles in the afternoon.
Explanation:
Let m be the number of miles they rode in the morning. They rode 4 more than 3 times this many in the afternoon; this gives us the expression
3m+4
to represent the miles ridden in the afternoon.
Together they rode 112 miles; this means we add the morning miles, m, to the afternoon miles, 3m+4, and get 112:
m+3m+4 = 112
Combine like terms:
4m+4 = 112
Subtract 4 from each side:
4m+4-4= 112-4
4m = 108
Divide both sides by 4:
4m/4 = 108/4
m = 27
They rode 27 miles in the morning.
That means in the afternoon, they rode
3m+4 = 3(27)+4 = 81+4 = 85 miles.
2 hundreds be cause there are 2, and you are trying to find hundreths so take the first number
