<span>Brenda would be correct, another way to find the answer would be to use the keep change flip method. Where you keep 5/2 change division to multiplication then flip 4/1.
The equation would then be 5/2 * 4/1 then you just multiply straight across 5*4 = 20 and 2*1 equals 2. You end up with 20/2 which reduces to 10</span>
3t = 5(3-t)
3t = 15 - 5t
3t + 5t = 15
8t = 15
t = 15/8
t = 1 7/8
7/8 * 60 mins = 52.50 minutes
t = 1 hour and 52.5 minutes
It took Stu 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to hike the trail one way.
Answer:
XQ = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question it asks for XQ instead of x, but you need to find x first.
1. Find x.
XQ is half of MQ so this statement is true: 3x - 3 = 2(2x - 6)
Solve for x.
3x - 3 = 2(2x - 6)
Distribute 2.
3x - 3 = 4x - 12
Isolate x.
3x = 4x - 9
-x = -9
Divide -1 out.
x = 9
Now solve for XQ, which the equation is given.
XQ = 2(9) - 6
XQ = 18 - 6
XQ = 12
