Answer:
k=4
Step-by-step explanation:
5-7k=-4(k+1)-3
Distribute
5-7k=-4k-4-3
Combine like terms
5-7k=-4k-7
Add 7k to each side
5-7k +7k = -4k+7k-7
5 = 3k-7
Add 7 to each side
5+7 = 3k-7+7
12 = 3k
Divide by 3
12/3 = 3k/3
4=k
Answer:
242 km
Step-by-step explanation:
distance = rate x time
so 165 km in 1.5 he is the same as 110 km per hour.
d = 110(2.2).
You have to write the problem you need help with.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to define a couple of variables. Let s = the cost of 1 squash and z = the cost of 1 zucchini.
Now lets translate the words into algebra:
"The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32" ===> 5s + 2z = 1.32
"Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75" ===> 3s + z = 0.75
There are several ways to solve systems of equations. Let's use substitution. We can find what z equals in terms of s by manipulating the second equation:
3s + z = 0.75
-3s -3s
------------ -------------
z = -3s +0.75
Now lets substitute (-3s + 0.75) into the first equation for z, then solve for s:
5s + 2(-3s + 0.75) = 1.32
Can you handle it from here?
(Hint: Once you have solved for s, you can substitute that value back into either of the equations and solve for z.)
