2L+2W=157.5
L=W-30
2(W-30)+2W=157.5
2W-60+2W=157.5
+60 +60
4w=217.5
W=54.4(.37 rounded to nearest tenth)
L=24.4
Let p and m represent the numbers of miles in the plains and mountains, respectively.
.. p + m = 300 . . . . . . . the whole trip was 300 miles
time = distance/speed, so the trip time can be written as
.. p/90 + m/37.5 = 3 48/60
.. 5p + 12m = 1710 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 450 to put in standard form
You can solve these two equations by any of several means. The variable p can be eliminated by subtracting 5 times the first from the second.
.. (5p +12m) -5(p +m) = 1710 -5*300
.. 7m = 210
.. m = 30
30 miles of the trip was through the mountains.
Unit fractions are fractions with a 1 as the numerator(number on top)
so 3/8 equals 1/8+1/8+1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for a:
Step 1: Multiply both sides by b.
b=a
Step 2: Flip the equation.
a=b
---------------------------
Solve for b:
Step 1: Multiply both sides by b.
b=a
