Answer:
Step 2 has the error
1. The whole number (20) was left out
2. Adding different signs, we subtract and retain the sign from the larger number
Correction:
Step 2: 20 - 17x = 34x + 60
Step 3: -17x -34x = 60 - 20
Step 4: -51x = 40
Step 5: x = 40/-51
Answer:
2) distance = 4 km
Displacement = 4 km east
3) distance = 35 km
Displacement = 5 km north
Step-by-step explanation:
2. He runs for 3 km in the east direction and then stops.. He now runs another 1 km in the same direction then stops.. Thus,
Total distance covered = 3 + 1 = 4 km
Total displacement is how far he is from his starting point = 3 + 1 = 4 km east
3) Runs 20km north and then runs 15 km back from starting point.
Thus;
Total distance covered = 20 + 15 = 35 km
Total displacement is distance from starting point = 20 - 15 = 5 km north
Subtracted because an opposite direction was taken after the 20km back to her starting point.
Answer:
24:40 or 3:5
Step-by-step explanation:
Boys: 24
All children: 24 + 16 = 40
Boys to total amount of children: 24:40
Simplify: 24:40 = 3:5
