Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can rewrite 7 as 3+4 then instead of 3*7 we have 3*(3+4).
Then distribute the 3 in the parenthesis 3*(3+4) = (3*3) + (3*4)
A(c - b) = d
ac - ab = d
ac = d + ab
c = (d + ab)/a
Answer:
255.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
146 miles - 2 hours
x miles - 3.5 hours
Cross multiply
2x = 146 x 3.5
2x = 511
Divide both sides by 2
x = 511/2
x = 255.5 miles
Answer:
It will take nine years and four months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.
Step-by-step explanation:
The new refrigerator which costs $1200, saves the family 22% annually in energy cost.
Since the old refrigerator costs $580 to run, we want to determine how many years it will take for 22% of $580 per year to make $1200.
22% of $580
= 580 × 0.22
= 127.6
That is, it saved then $127.6 per year.
Now,
$1200/127.6
≈ 9.4
Which means, it will take 9 years and 4 months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.
