The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24
Divide 30 by 10. 30mph/10seconds = 3mph/seconds
Answer:
X = 21/4 - 7/4 = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3 and 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
X + (2 and 1/2) - 3/4 = 5 and 1/4
X + 2 and 2/4 - 3/4 = 5 and 1/4 <--- common denominator
X + 10/4 - 3/4 = 21/4
X + 7/4 = 21/4
X = 21/4 - 7/4 = 14/4 = 7/2 = 3 and 1/2
