Answer:
Option 3 - 4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : In a city, the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station. The distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.
To find : How far apart are the police station and the fire station?
Solution :
Let the distance between police station and fire station be 'x'.
The distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station.
i.e. 
The distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.
i.e. 
Therefore, The police and fire stations is 4 miles apart.
So, Option 3 is correct.
Answer:
(2x+1)(1) = 84. 2x+1= 84. 2x = 83.
Step-by-step explanation:
To show equality with fractions both fractions should be converted to show their values with the same denominator then draw a picture of those fractions.
Remember that you can only compare fractions with the same denominator as is said with other operations dealing with fractions.
<span>3x - 2y + 2y > -14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 0 > -14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x > -14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 14 > -14 + 14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 14 > 0 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 14 > 2y </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > 2y/2 </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y*(2/2) </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y*(1) </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y </span>
<span>y < (3x + 14)/2 </span>
<span>y < 3x/2 + 14/2 </span>
<span>y < 3x/2 + 7 </span>
<span>y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>“y” is LESS THAN (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>the slope intercept form of the inequality is: y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>STEP 2: Temporarily change the inequality into an equation by replacing the < symbol with an = symbol. </span>
<span>y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>y = (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>STEP 3: Prepare the x-y table using the equation from Step 2. </span>
<span>Using the slope intercept form of the equation from Step 2, choose a value for x, and then compute y for at least three points. </span>
<span>Although you could plot the graph with just two sets of x-y coordinates, you should compute at least three different sets of coordinates points to ensure you have not made a mistake. All three x-y coordinates must lie on the same straight line. If they do not, you have made a mistake. </span>
<span>You can choose any value for x. </span>
<span>For example, (arbitrarily) choose x = -2 </span>
<span>If x = -2, </span>
<span>y = (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>y = (3/2)*(-2) + 7 </span>
<span>y = 4 </span>
Answer:
shop b
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find for example how much 100 grams of peanut butter cost in each shop using a proportion
shop A 100 : 250 = x : 325
x = (325 * 100) / 250 = $130
shop B 100 : 340 = x : 408
x = (408 * 100)/ 340 = $120
We discovered that shop B is cheaper
