Is this your equation?: 4.5x - 7 = 20
_____________________________________________________________

Your goal is to isolate x. By isolating the x-variable, you effectively receive the answer. In order to isolate x, you move the -7 term [Note: that the sign in front of a number signifies if it's positive or negative] as well as 4.5 behind the equality symbol. To do this, you do reverse operations to both sides. Start with -7.

The opposite of negative 7 is positive 7, therefore -7 + 7 = 20 + 7
-7 + 7 cancels each other out and 27 takes the place of 20. We now have: 4.5x = 27

Since you have to multiply 4.5 by x originally, you have to divide now. Divide 4.5 by itself and 27 by 4.5. This gives you 1 and 6. [Note that a 1 in front of a variable is like saying only that variable]

(1)x = 6, Therefore x is equivalent to 6.

Briefly check your work by taking the original equation and substituting x with 6. If 4.5(6) - 7 equals 20, 6 is our right answer. [Note: Solve with PEMDAS]

4.5 * 6 = 27

27 - 7 = 20.

In summary, x = 6 is correct.

topjm [15]

Answer:

the actual distance is 1800 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal.

Let x be the actual distance.

As per the statement:

Reggie was looking at a map of the school the scale shows that 1 inch equals 150 ft.

⇒1 inch = 150 ft.

if the distance between his classroom in the cafeteria measures 12 in on the map.

by definition of proportions we have;

\frac{1}{150} = \frac{12}{x}

By cross multiply we have;

x = 12 \cdot 150 = 1,800 ft

Therefore, the actual distance is 1800 ft.

since 11^2 is 11*11 = 12

and when you take the square root of 121

Nolan rides his bike 63 miles in 270 minutes. What is his average speed in miles per hour?
s2008m [1.1K]
63 miles in 270 minutes will mean that nolan rides his bike at a distance of 63/270 miles in one minute.
there are 60 minutes in an hour. So to find out the distance he covers in 1 hour, 63/270 × 60 will give you 14 miles.
Since the question is asking for the average speed, nolan rides his bike at 14 miles per hour i think.
