Simplify brackets
10x - 4 = 8x + 14
Add 4 to both sides
10x = 8x + 14 + 4
Simplify 8x + 14 + 4 to 8x + 18
10x = 8x + 18
Subtract 8x from both sides
10x - 8x = 18
Simplify 10x - 8x to 2x
2x = 18
Divide both sides by 2
x = 18/2
Simplify 18/2 to 9
<u>x = 9</u>
Answer=7:13
Kenny's Weight*6/7=Melvin's Weight
So, for example, if Melvin's weigh was 7...
Kenny's Weight*6/7=7
divide both sides by 6/7
Kenny Weight=6
So we can say that Melvin's weight to Kenny's weight is 7:6
The boys total weights would be...
7+6=13
So Melvin's weight over the total weight of the two boys is:
7:13
So first calculate the time between the plane flied over the Air Force Bases (AFB) and Navy Base Station (NBS):
(time passed Air Force Bases) - (time passed Air Force Bases) = 10:32 - 10:20 = 12 mins
Since we know the distance that plane travel from AFB to NBS is 120 miles and the plane traveled that distance within 12 minutes.
We have
120 miles / 12 minutes = 10 miles / minute
Calculate it into miles per hour (60 minutes):
10 miles/minute x 60 minutes = 600 miles per hour.
ANSWER : 600 mph
25% is the same is 1/4 of something. So you have to find what 1/4th of 48 is. To do that, just divide 48 by 4. and you get 12.
A 25% payment on a CD player that costs $48 would be $12. Hope that helps!
