Solve: negative 1 over 2 x + 1 = −x + 8 (5 points)

1 answer:

5 0

It is 14 because if you have -1/2x + 1 = -x + 8 you would combine the multiplied terms into a single fraction then subtract the one from both sides simplify till you get -x/2 = -x + 7 then you will add like terms so the x’s then you multiply all terms by two like 2(-x/2)= 2•7 then you can get 14.

A pilot can travel for 140 miles with the wind in the same amount of time as 360 miles against the wind. Find the speed of the w

quester [9]

Answer:

-88 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the relation ...

time = distance/speed

to compare the times in the two directions.

$\dfrac{140}{200+w}=\dfrac{360}{200-w}\\\\140(200-w)=360(200+w)\\\\200(140-360)=w(360+140)\\\\w=\dfrac{200(-220)}{500}=-88 \quad\text{miles per hour}$

The wind speed is -88 miles per hour.

_____

The problem statement tells us the travel is slower <em>with</em> the wind than <em>against</em> the wind. Hence "with the wind" must be subtracting from the net speed. That is, the wind speed is negative.

Colby is making a home video consisting of a 5-minute introduction followed by several short skits. Each skit is 6 minutes long.

givi [52]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: There are a total of 16 skits in the video.

From the statement, we know that the total length of the video is 101 minutes and it contains a 5-minute introduction, the rest of the minutes are short skits (which are 6 minutes long each one).

So, we need to write the following equations:

First equation:

$TotalDuration=Introduction+n*Skit$

Second equation:

$Skit=6Minutes$

Where,

$TotalDuration=101Minutes\\Introduction=5Minutes\\n=NumberOfSkits\\Skit=6Minutes$

So, replacing and substituting the second equation into the first equation we have:

$101Minutes=5Minutes+n*6Minutes\\n*6Minutes=101Minutes-5Minutes\\n*6Minutes=96Minutes\\n=\frac{96Minutes}{6Minutes}=16$

So, there are a total of 16 skits in the video.

Let's prove it substituting "n" into the first equation:

$101Minutes=5Minutes+16*6minutes\\101Minutes=5Minutes+96Minutes\\101Minutes=101Minutes$

Have a nice day!
