Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
MQ : MN = 5:6
MP : MO = 5:6
MQ/MN = 5/6
Hence, MP/MO = 5/6
(5+x)/(6+(18/5)) = 5/6
5+x = (5/6)(48/5)
5+x = 8
x = 3
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
New mail carrier takes 4 hours for delivery i.e.
New mail carrier completes 
part of work in 1 hour
Old mail carrier takes 3 hours for delivery i.e.
mail carrier completes 
part of work in 1 hour
If they work together, they complete the work in x hours i.e.
(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...
... 5x = 6(x -1.75)
(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.
... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x
... 0 = x -10.50
... 10.50 = x
(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50
... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value
(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.
Answer:
A. 80-5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of rides be represented by = x
Thomas bought 80 tickets for rides at an amusement park. Each ride cost five tickets, Thomas has been on x right so far.
The number of rides Thomas has been on so far= 5 × x = 5x
The expressions to show the number of tickets that Thomas has left is written as:
80 - 5x
Option A is the correct option.
