Answer:

x = 9.7

Step-by-step explanation:

2.7x -9 = x +7.5

2.7x - x = 7.5 + 9

1.7x = 16.5

x = 16.5/1.7

x = 9.7

Answer:

x = 9.70588

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

2.7x - 9 = x + 7.5

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract <em>x</em> on both sides:                    1.7x - 9 = 7.5
  2. Add 9 on both sides:                           1.7x = 16.5
  3. Divide 1.7 on both sides:                     x = 9.70588

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Substitute in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    2.7(9.70588) - 9 = 9.70588 + 7.5
  2. Multiply:                               26.2059 - 9 = 9.70588 + 7.5
  3. Subtract/Add:                      17.2059 = 17.2059

Here we see that 17.2059 does indeed equal 17.2059.

∴ x = 9.70588 is a solution of the equation.

Help please! Could you explain it too?
Olegator [25]

Answer:

a. Not proportional

b. Proportional;

k = ⅞

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is usually represented in the format, y = kx. k here represents constant of proportionality. This shows that x and y are directly proportional.

a. y = -2x + 9 is not a proportional equation.

b. y = ⅞x is a proportional equation.

Constant of proportionality: k = ⅞

Two cars leave the same parking lot, with one heading north and the other heading east. After several minutes, the eastbound car
4vir4ik [10]

The northbound car has traveled a distance of 6.2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The eastbound car has traveled a distance of 5 miles and if a straight line is drawn between the two car's positions it would measure 8 miles.

This forms a triangle which has a hypotenuse measuring 8 miles while one of the other sides measures 5 miles.

Assume the distance traveled by the northbound car is x miles.

Step 2:

According to Pythagoras' theorem,

x^{2} +5^{2} =8^{2} , x^{2}  = 8^{2} -5^{2} = 64-25.

x^{2} =39, x=6.2449.

So the northbound car has traveled a distance of 6.244 miles. Rounding this off, we get 6.2 miles.
