Hello!

3x + 5 = x - 10
Solve for x by isolating the variable.
Subtract 5 from both sides:
3x + 5 - 5 = x - 10 - 5
3x = x - 15
Subtract x from both sides:
3x - x = x - x - 15
2x = -15
Divide both sides by 2:
2x /2 = -15 / 2
x = -15/2.

I hope this helps you :)
We know that the variation is proportianal, that is we can relate the quantities as:

where y is the mass of the body and x is the mass of water. From the values given we have that:

hence the constant of proportionality is 3/2. Now, if the mass of the water is 75, then the mass of the body is:

Therefore, the mass of the body is 112.5 kilograms
The elapsed time was 6 hours and 30 minutes. Hope this helps.
Answer:
Distance to appointment point = 5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s be the distance to the appointment point,
We have Maria drove to a business appointment at 50mph in the morning.
Time taken in the morning

Her average speed on the return trip in the afternoon was 40 mph.
Time taken in the afternoon

Given that the return trip took 1/4hr longer because of traffic.
That is

Substituting

Distance to appointment point = 5 miles
