Answer:
2x - 0.4x ;
8x/5 ;
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of miles = x
Arlene:
Double number of miles = 2 * x = 2x
Subtract 20% of the result :
2x - 20% of 2x ;
2x - 0.4x
Raul:
Divides Number of miles by 5 ; x / 5
Multiplies result by 8 ;
8 * (x/5) = 8x /5
To know if expressions are equivalent :
Let x = 10 miles
Using Arlene's expression:
2x - 0.4x
x = 10
2(10) - 0.4(10) = 16
Using Raul's expression :
8x / 5
(8*10) / 5
80/5
= 16
Since they give the same result, we can conclude that the expression are equivalent
Solving for y right?
2y = 3x + 4 - x
2y = 2x + 4
y = 2x + 4 over 2
y = 2 (x + 2) over 2
y = x + 2
y - 3 = 2x - 6 over 2
y - 3 = 2(x - 3) over 2
y - 3 = x - 3
y = x
x - y - 2 = 2(2x + 1)
-y - 2 = 2(2x + 1) - x
-y = 2(2x + 1) - x + 2
y = -2(2x + 1) + x - 2
Answer:
no, because the first=12-x
and the second=-1x+2
