The equation is already set up for you. All you need to do is solve for x, the number of hours.
23 + 3x = 5x + 7 original equation
23 - 7 = 5x - 3x combine like terms by subtracting 7 and 3x from both sides
16 = 2x simplify
16/2 = x divide both sides by 2 to isolate x
8 = x solve for x
Therefore, the answer is 8 hrs.
It’s 200 dollars for 25 years
Answer:
smaller number = 3 5/24
larger number = 6 13/24
Step-by-step explanation:
let the larger number = x
smaller number = y
x - y = 3 1/3 equation 1
2(x +y) = 191/2 equation 2
divide equation 2 through by 2
x + y = 9 3/4 equation 3
subtract equation 1 from 3
2y = 6 5/12
y = 77/12 x 1/2 = 3 5/24
substitute for y in equation 1
x - 3 5/24 = 31/3
x = 3 1/3 + 3 5/24
x = 6 13/24
5 * 23 is equal to 115. =)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To round 4.9 to nearest tenth means to round the numbers so you only have one digit in the fractional part. 4.9 already has only one digit in the fractional part. Thus, 4.9 is already rounded as much as possible to the nearest tenth and the answer is: 4.9
