1/4 + 1/2 + x = −3/4
get a common denominator 1/4
1/4 +2/4 +x = -3/4
combine like terms
3/4 +x =-3/4
subtract 3/4 from each side
x = -3/4 -3/4
x = -6/4
divide top and bottom by 2
x = -3/2
x = -1 1/2
Answer : x = -1 1/2
Answer:
5 or 6
Step-by-step explanation:
So I did it in a different way than shown in rsm classes. I said that the speed was x-2 and x.
then I said the distance was 6 and 15. If the time taken was 1 hour more, then we can come up with this equation:
Since the time is 6/x-2 or 15/x
15/x-6/x-2=1
multiply everything to get a common denominator then cancel it out to get
(15x-30)-6x=x^2-2x
11x-30=x^2
x^2-11x+30=0
(x-5)(x-6) is factored form.
so x=5 or x=6. this means that the speed of the boat is either 5km/h or 6 km/h
Answer:
First one
Step-by-step explanation:
The second one should be the answer
X = -44
y = -30
Solve for y in equation 1.
Plug in the new value for y into equation 2 to solve for x.
Next, plug your x value into either equation to find y. You can choose either, but I picked the 1st equation.
