Answer:

x = 4
JL = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You go about this by using the given equation.

Left + Right = Total

JK + KL = JL

(2x -3) + 11 = 4x

8 = 2x . . . . . simplify, subtract 2x

4 = x . . . . . . divide by 2

b) JL = 4x = 4·4

JL = 16

7x-2=5x+14 X=? (step by step needed)

prisoha [69]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

$7x-2-5x=5x+14-5x$
$2x-2=14$

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

$2x-2+2=14+2$
$2x=16$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

$2x/2=16/2$
$x=8$

Step 4: Check if solution is correct.

$7(8)-2=5(8)+14$
$56-2=40+14$
$54=54$

Therefore, x = 8.

Bogdan [553]

Answer: 7 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance between Emily and Kylie is $140\ \text{miles}$

Speed of Emily $v_e=12\ mph$

Speed of Kylie $v_k=8\ mph$

Distance traveled by Emily $\Rightarrow d_e=12t$

Distance traveled by Kylie $\Rightarrow d_k=8t$

$\Rightarrow 12t+8t=140\\\Rightarrow 20t=140\\\Rightarrow t=7\ hr$

They will meet after 7 hour.
