Let the speed of Brian = X
Brian drove at X miles per hour for 4 hours
Jake drove at X-15 for 4 hours
Set up an equation to get:
4x + 4(x-15) = 500 miles
Simplify:
4x + 4x -60 = 500
8x - 60 = 500
Add 60 to both sides:
8x = 560
Divide both sides by 8:
X = 560/8
X = 70
Brian's speed was x = 70 miles per hour.
Jake's speed was x - 15 = 70-15 = 55 miles per hour.
Answer:
x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 100 + x = 180 {Straight line angles}
2x + 100 = 180 {subtract 100 from both sides}
2x = 180 - 100
2x = 80 {Divide both sides by 2)
x = 80/2
x = 40
Answer:
the y intercept is (0,-4) or just -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
George is 33
% (
%) richer than Pete. Let Pete's percentage of wealth be 100%.
Thus George percentage of wealth = 100% +
%
=
%
= 133
%
Pete's percent poorer than George can be determined by;
=
÷
× 100
=
×
×100
= 0.25 × 100
= 25%
Pete is 25% poorer than George.
