Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 3 = 2x

-3x -3x

-3 = -x

The x cannot be a negative so you divide both sides by -1 and then the answer becomes x=3

Two cyclists leave city at same time, one going east and the other going west. The westbound cyclist bikes 3 mph faster than the

Bumek [7]

Speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the speed of west bound cyclist is 15 mph.

<u>Solution:</u>

Let us assume that x is speed of slower eastbound cyclist

So, x+3 will be the speed of faster westbound cyclist

We know that distance is the product of speed and time. That is,

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times\text{Time}$

West-bound DATA:

Rate of speed = x+3 mph ; Time = 6 hrs ; distance = 6(x+3) = 6x+18 miles

East-bound DATA:

Rate of speed = x mph ; time = 6 hrs. ; distance = 6x miles

On solving,

Distance apart = 162

$\Rightarrow6x+18+6x = 162$

$\Rightarrow12x=162-18$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{144}{12}\rightarrow x=12$

So, the rate of speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the rate of speed of the west bound cyclist will be $x+3=12+3=15 \text{ mph}$

What is the solution to this equation:<br> X+7=-8

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

$\boxed {x = -15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $x$ :

$x + 7 = -8$

-Subtract both sides by $7$ :

$x + 7 - 7 = -8 - 7$

$\boxed {x = -15}$

So, the value of $x$ is $-15$ .

x2 + 7x - 18 Select one of the factors of the quadratic expression. A) (x+2) B) (x+6) C) (x-2) D) (x-6)

lubasha [3.4K]

The factors of this expression would be (x+9)(x-2). You have to find two numbers that are factors of -18 that add up to 7. These numbers would be 9 and -2:
(9)x(-2)= -18
and 9 + (-2)= 7
Your answer is C) (x-2).
