Answer:
-8 1/2 ft / min
Step-by-step explanation:
X = second diver rate
1 1/2 X = -12 3/4
3/2 X = - 51/4
X = - 51/4 * 2/3 = - 102/12 = -8 1/2 ft / min
Answer:
x=72
Step-by-step explanation:
x/4=18
4*x/4=18*4
x=72
The answer is 5 large, 25 medium, 70 small dogs.
x - the number of large dogs
y - the number of medium dogs
z - the number of small dogs
<span>There are 100 dogs at Pampered Paws Kennel:
</span>x + y + z = 100
<span>Each day, the dogs eat 100 lb of food. Large dogs eat 3 lb, medium dogs eat 2 lb, and small dogs eat 0.5 lb:
3x + 2y + 0.5z = 100
</span><span>There are five times as many medium dogs as large ones:
x = 5y
</span>x + y + z = 100
3x + 2y + 0.5z = 100
y = 5x
____
Substitute y in the first two equations:
x + 5y + z = 100
3x + 2*5x + 0.5z = 100
___
6x + z = 100
13x + 0.5z = 100
____
z = 100 - 6x
13x + 0.5z = 100
____
13x + 0.5(100 - 6x) = 100
13x + 50 - 3x = 100
13x - 3x = 100 - 50
10x = 50
x = 50/10 = 5
y = 5x = 5 * 5 = 25
x + y + z = 100
5 + 25 + z = 100
30 + z = 100
z = 100 - 30
z = 70
Answer:
19 lol
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The number is -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the word problem, we can figure out the equation for the unknown number (x).
8x-3=-19
We would then work out the equation to find x.
Add 3 to -19.
8x=-16
Divide -16 by 8.
x=-2
