The construction crew took 
days to build 
miles of road.
Therefore, in 1 day, the crew built 
miles of road
= 
miles of road
Thus, the required rate is 
miles or 
miles per day.
Simplifying
8x + -6 = 7x + 10
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 8x = 7x + 10
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 8x = 10 + 7x
Solving
-6 + 8x = 10 + 7x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 8x + -7x = 10 + 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 8x + -7x = 1x
-6 + 1x = 10 + 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0
-6 + 1x = 10 + 0
-6 + 1x = 10
Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + 1x = 10 + 6
Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 1x = 10 + 6
1x = 10 + 6
Combine like terms: 10 + 6 = 16
1x = 16
Divide each side by '1'.
x = 16
Simplifying
x = 16
HOPE I HELPED!!! :)
Answer:
maybe, whats the question
High School Mathematics 5+3 pts
Eli took the fleet of 8 vans for oil changes. All of the vans needed windshield wipers which cost $24 per van. The total bill was $432 . Write an equation to find out what each oil change cost . Solve the equation.
8×24=192-432=240÷8=$30
If we have 420 books for every 7 shelves and are looking for how many books are on 4 shelves, we need to set up fractional proportions.
We have 7 shelves for every 420 books, so we will have our first fraction like this:
7/420.
We also have 4 shelves for every x books, so our second fraction will be 4/x.
Set these fractions up as an equation.
7/420 = 4/x
To solve for x, we need to cross multiply the numerators of one fraction with the denominators of the other fraction.
In other words, multiply the top number of one fraction by the bottom number of the other question.
It should look like this:
7(x)
420(4)
7(x) = 7x
420(4) = 1680
Set your products up as an equation.
7x = 1680
Now to solve for x, we need to simplify.
Currently, x is being multiplied by 7.
To get x alone, divide 7x by 7.
Remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do to the other, so divide 1680 by 7.
7x / 7 = x
1680 / 7 = 240
You are left with:
x = 240.
For every 4 shelves you have 240 books.
I hope this helps!
