No but it is true that the two equations are parallel.
Answer: the first one
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question :
Ned is riding his bike from his house to the park, both of which are on the same straight road. On his way, he stops at a store, which is 4/7 of the way to the park, and then bikes the remaining 0.6 mile to the park. What is the distance between Ned's home and the park?
Answer:
1.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Ned's home and park are on the same straight road :
Store where Ned stopped is 4/7 of the way to the park
Bikes the remaining 0.6 miles to the park
Hence after traveling 4/7 of the distance, distance to park is 0.6 miles
Hence, 1 - 4/7 = 3/7
Hence, 3/7 of the way = 0.6 miles
If 3/7 = 0.6 miles
Then, 1 = x
Cross multiply
3/7 x = 0.6
3x = 4.2
x = 4.2 / 3
x = 1.4 miles
The distance from Ned's home to park is 1.4 miles
Answer:
180
Step-by-step explanation:
37(x-5) + 2 = 2(3-2x)...distribute thru the parenthesis
37x - 185 + 2 = 6 - 4x
37x - 183 = 6 - 4x
37x + 4x = 6 + 183
41x = 189
x = 189/41
x = 4.6
