Answer:

(0.118, 4.882)

Step-by-step explanation:

If a motorist drives for m hours at 120km/hr, then the Distance of the motorist is expressed as;

​Distance = Speed * time

​da = 120m

If he drives n hours at 18km/hr;

db = 18 * n

db = 18n

Speed of the motorist altogether is expressed as;

Speed =78km/5hrs

Speed = 15.6km/hr

SInce the total distnce is 78km

120m + 18n = 78 ....1 ..... * 1

If total time is 5hrs

m + n = 5....2 ...*18

Solve simultaneously

120m + 18n = 78

18m + 18n = 90

Subtract

120m - 18m = 78-90

102m = -12

m = 0.118 hrs

m =

Since m + n = 5

n = 5 - m

= 5 - 12/102

n = 4.882

Hence (m,n) is (0.118, 4.882)

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is $21.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Original price = $25

Discount = 20%

Taxes = 5%

Process

1.- Calculate the price with the discount

                     $25 ------------------- 100%

                        x   -------------------   20%

                        x = (20 x 25) / 100

                        x = 500 / 100

                        x = $5

Price after the discount = $25 - $5

                                       = $20

2.- Calculate the price after taxes

                     $20 ---------------------- 100%

                         x  -----------------------   5%

                       x = (5 x 20) / 100

                       x = 100 / 100

                       x = $1

Final price = $20 + $1

                = $21

A. You need to compare 2/5, 1/2 and 3/4
2/5= .4
1/2= .5
3/4=.75
Therefore the bucket that is 2/5 full is less than 1/2 full

Given the equation 4x − 26 = 2x − 4, which order of operations completely solves for x?
scoray [572]
4x - 26 = 2x - 4....subtract 2x from both sides
4x - 2x - 26 = -4...add 26 to both sides
4x - 2x = -4 + 26...combine terms
2x = 22...divide both sides by 2
x = 22/2 = 11

OR
4x - 26 = 2x - 4.....subtract 4x from both sides
-26 = 2x - 4x - 4....add 4 to both sides
-26 + 4 = 2x - 4x...combine terms
-22 = -2x....divide both sides by -2
-22/-2 = x
11 = x
