Answer:
x=403
Step-by-step explanation:
move all the terms that don't contain x to the right side and solve
Answer
We want a unit rate where
1 is in the denominator,
so we divide top and bottom by 2
3 miles ÷ 2
2 hours ÷ 2
=
1.5 miles
1 hour
=
1.5 miles
hour
= 1.5 miles per hour
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call hens h and ducks d. The first algebraic equation says that 6 hens (6h) plus (+) 1 duck (1d) cost (=) 40.
The second algebraic equations says that 4 hens (4h) plus (+) 3 ducks (3d) cost (=) 36.
The system is
6h + 1d = 40
4h + 3d = 36
The best way to go about this is to solve it by substitution since we have a 1d in the first equation. We will solve that equation for d since that makes the most sense algebraically. Doing that,
1d = 40 - 6h.
Now that we know what d equals, we can sub it into the second equation where we see a d. In order,
4h + 3d = 36 becomes
4h + 3(40 - 6h) = 36 and then simplify. By substituting into the second equation we eliminated one of the variables. You can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, and now we do!
4h + 120 - 18h = 36 and
-14h = -84 so
h = 6.
That means that each hen costs $6. Since the cost of a duck is found in the bold print equation above, we will sub in a 6 for h to solve for d:
1d = 40 - 6(6) and
d = 40 - 36 so
d = 4.
That means that each duck costs $4.
Answer:
d = 7.4 cm is the distance between the two cities on the map.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d = the distance measured on the map in centimeters (cm) between any two locations and let D be the actual distance in kilometers (km) between these same two locations.
Since the scale on the map is 1 cm = 45 km, then the ratio of the distance on the map to the actual distance is equal to 1cm/45 km; therefore the quotient of any measured distance d on the map divided by the corresponding much longer actual distance D would have to maintain (equal) this same ratio; In other words, we can set up the following proportion to solve for d given the actual distance D = 333 km as follows:
1 cm/45 km = d/D
Substituting, we get:
1 cm/45 km = d/333 km
d/333 km = 1 cm/45 km
(d/333 km)(333 km) = (1 cm/45 km)(333 km)
d = (333 km/45 km)(1 cm)
d = 7.4 cm is the distance between the two cities on the map.
Check:
1 cm/45 cm = d/333 km
1 cm/45 cm = 7.4 cm/333 km
1 cm/45 cm = 1 cm/45 km (Therefore, the distance ratio of the map has been maintained
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Reduce the ratio to lowest terms, then multiply numerator and denominator by any same value to get another equivalent.
