5/6 is 1/6 more than 4/6. All you had to do is subtract 4/6 from 5/6 to get <u><em>1/6</em></u>.
Make an equation.
Also, convert 3 weeks into days ⇒ 3 · 7 = 21 days.
x + 2x + 4x = 21
x is Jared.
2x is Max (because half of 4 is 2).
4x is Wesley.
Now solve the equation.
7x = 21
x = 3
Jared = x
Max = 2x
Wesley = 4x
Jared = 3 days
Max = 2(3) = 6 days
Wesley = 4(3) = 12 days
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3-(2x-5)=-4(x+2)
Remove unnecessary parentheses
3-2x+5=-4*(x+2)
Reorder the terms in parentheses
3-2x+5=+(-4x-8)
Remove unnecessary parentheses
+3-2x+5=-4x-8
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
-2x+4x=-8-3-5
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+2x=-16
We divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get x.
x=-8
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that x does not change. Hence, this line is a vertical one, and its slope is undefined. The line is defined by the equation x = -5.
