If 1/4x - 1/4 = 2 then 2 + 1/4 = 1/4x.
so 3/4 = 1/4x
3/4 is equal to 1/1.33 (reduce by dividing both numerator and denominator by 3)
so 4 x ? = 1.33. 1.33 / 4 = 0.3325
so (if you're solving for x) I believe the answer is x = 0.3325
Answer:
3 2/3ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle = Length × Width
Given
Length = 5 1/2 foot
Width = 2/3foot
Substitute
Area of the rectangle = 5 1/2 × 2/3
Area of the rectangle = 11/2×2/3
Area of the rectangle = 22/6
Area of the rectangle = 11/3
Area of the rectangle = 3 2/3ft²
Answer is: x=3
Add the two equations together to eliminate y from the system.
Then divide each term by 5 and simplify.
Answer:
The answer is b. But you asked for the thought process so...
Step-by-step explanation:
Let speed of the 1st trip x miles / hr. and speed of the 2nd trip 3x / hr.
We know that
Speed = Distance/Time.
Or, Time = Distance/Speed.
So, the time taken to cover a distance of 50 miles on his first trip = 50/x hr.
And the time taken to cover a distance of 300 miles on his later trip = 300/3x hr.
= 100/x hr.
So we can clearly see that his new time compared with the old time was: twice as much.
Have a great day :)
