3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j
to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4
so j = 5/4
A )
3 j + 5 p = 7.60
j + 2 p = 2.90
B )
j = 2.90 - 2 p
3 ( 2.90 - 2 p ) + 5 p = 7.60
8.70 - 6 p + 5 p = 7.60
p = $1.10
j = 2.90 - 2.20
j<span> = $0.70</span>
C )
The bill for 1 glass of orange juice and 1 pancake special would be:
0.70 + 1.10 = $1.80
It would be 3/5 because if you simplify it you would bet 3/5
Answer:
3.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of train X=30 mph
Speed of train Y=40 mph
Relative speed When the two trains travelling in same direction
Relative speed=40-30=10 mph
Total distance =25+10=35 miles
We have to find the time when train Y is 10 miles ahead of train X.
We know that
Time=
Using the formula
Then, we get
Time=
Hence, it will be 3.5 hours until train Y is 10 miles ahead of train X.
