Finding the Number
To find the number, we have to translate the problem above to an algebraic equation. The algebraic equation refers to the statement of the equality of two algebraic expressions.
Equation:
Let "x" be the number.
4 is divided by a number - 4/x
3 divided by the number decreased by 2 - 3/x-2
"4 is divided by a number is equal to 3 divided by the number decreased by 2"
4/x = 3/x-2
Solution:
Cross multiply.
4/x = 3/x-2
x(3) = 4(x-2)
3x = 4x - 8
(Combine similar terms.)
3x - 4x = - 8
- x = - 8
- x/- 1 = - 8/- 1
x = 8
Final Answer:
8
Checking:
4/x = 3/x-2
4/8 = 3/8-2
1/2 = 3/6
1/2 = 1/2 ✔
You can figure out how many miles per hour it travels by dividing 18/3. This gives us the answer of 6. 3/4 = 0.75 so we can multiply 6 * 0.75 to get 4.5 as our final answer. It will travel 4.5 miles in 3/4 of an hour.
