SU = 2x - 12
+12 on both sides
12 = 2x
/2 on both sides
6 = x
x = 6
SU = 2x - 12
SU = 2(6) - 12
SU = 12 - 12
SU = 0
Answer:
SU = 0
Answer:
The correct equation is: 6x+12 = 30.75
And 3 people went to the movies
Step-by-step explanation:
We will write the equation to represent this scenario.
Let x be the number of people who went for movies.
Then the price of ticket for x people will be: 6.25x
They spent $12 on refreshments and a total of $30.75 so the equation will be:
solving the equation will give us total number of people
So,
Hence,
The correct equation is: 6x+12 = 30.75
And 3 people went to the movies
Step-by-step explanation:
a) r=d/t ( same as formula of speed)
b) r= 665280/3=221760 feet/hr
c) distance in miles = 665280/5280= 126
so r=126/3 = 42 miles/hr
d) i think using miles makes more sense cz using feet will result in greater number of values so there is a greater chance of human error
X = amount of 50% solution
y = total amount after mixing
Note that the amount of alcohol in the 20% solution is 80 (0.2) = 16 oz.
We have 2 unknowns, so we need 2 equations:
first, we can write the equation for the total volume:
y = x + 80
next, apply the percentages to get an equation for the amount of alcohol:
0.4 y = 0.5 x + 16
Finally, solve the pair of equations (in this case, by substitution of the 1st into the second:
0.4 (x + 80) = 0.5x + 16
0.4 x + 32 = 0.5X + 16
rearrange and combine like terms:
0.1x = 16
x = 160
from the 1st equation:
y = 160 + 80 = 240
