Answer:
x = - 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+ 6 = - 14 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
= - 20
Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction
x = 5 × - 20 = - 100
Answer: 54 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
d-the distance
s+9 - the speed to the conference
d=6*(s+9)
s- is the speed on the way back home
d=7*s
so 6*(s+9)=7*s
6s+54=7s
-6s -6s
54= 7s-6s
s=54 mph
3/4 and 3/8 have to have equal denominators, so multiply 3/4 by 2/2 because it's equal to one, so it doesn't change the value of the fraction, but it makes the denominator (the number on the bottom) bigger.
3/4 x 2/2 = 6/8
Now subtract.
6/8 - 3/8 = 3/8
Don't subtract the denominators.
3/8 can't be simplified.
