The multiply choice were worth 4 points.
Gretchen= 18x+19
Ezia= 15x+31
So basically you can enter any number. At first I picked 3 and then I did the math and I got 73 points for Gretchen and 76 points for Ezia.
Then I pick four and then I got 91 points for them both. This is how I got the answer:
18x+19=15x+31
18(4)+19=15(4)+31
72+19=60+31
91=91
Answer: it will take 2.5 hours for both people to meet after person B leaves.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between the house of person A and his cousin's house is 234 miles.
At the point where they meet, they would have travelled 234 miles.
Person A travelled at an average speed of 44 miles per hour.
Let t represent the time spent by Person A in travelling from his house to the point where they meet.
Distance = speed × time
Distance covered by person A would be
44 × t = 44t
One and half hours later, person B leaves his house to visit person A, travelling at an average speed of 62 miles per hour. This means that total time spent by person B in travelling to the point where they meet is (t - 0.5) hours. Distance covered would be
62(t - 0.5) = 62t - 31
Since the total distance covered is 234 miles, then
44t + 62t - 31 = 234
106t = 234 + 31 = 265
t = 265/106 = 2.5 hours
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to isolate x. First you start off by adding the like terms which is -3x and -x. By adding them you get -4x.
8 - 4x = 12
Then you subtract 8 on both sides since it is positive to isolate x.
-4x = 4
Then you divide -4 by both sides and get x=4/-4
4/-4 is simplified to -1 so the answer is x= -1
