Answer:
z = - 0.78
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
1/3(6z+7.2)=0.5(8z+2)-0.4
Open parenthesis
2z + 2.4 = (4z + 1) - 0.4
2z + 2.4 = - 1.6z - 0.4
Collect like terms
2z + 1.6z = - 0.4 - 2.4
3.6z = -2.8
z = -2.8 / 3.6
= - 0.78
Answer:
the answer for your problem is -3/2 by my calculations. Just had a lesson on quadratic equations in class
5 lbs equals 80 ounces because 1 lb is 16 oz
Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.
B. 17.16 represents a credit of $17.16; "credits" mean that you're receiving something, so it's added. A is incorrect because it shows the money being taken away and that isn't what a credit does. C and D aren't even the same amount of money in the question, so they aren't your answer either.
