Hey there!
To start, first let the variable, x, represent your first unknown number. Now, because the second number is 5 times the first, this will be represented as 5x (you simply multiply 5 to your variable of the first number, x).
Now, since the sum of the two numbers are 42, you can represent this by setting up this equation:
5x+x=42
Combine your like terms (terms of the same variable and are raised to the same power):
5x+x=42
6x=42
Divide both sides by 6 to solve for x:
6x/6=42/6
x=7
Because x represents the first number, your first number would be 7.
Now, since the second number is 5 times the first, you can find the second number by multiplying x by 5:
x=7
7*5=35
Your second number is 35.
To check if both numbers are correct, you can add your first number, 7 to your second number, 35, to see if you get 42 since you know their sum must be 42:
7+35=42
Therefore, your final answer would be that the first number is 7, and the second number is 35.
Hope this helps, and have a marvelous day! :)
Answer:
22 rides happened in the hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
The way to solve this if by first dividing the 650 by the 30 then since the answer will be 21.6 that is basically like having 21 full rides then having one more ride a little over half full.
“x” represents an undefined term
ex: 9x-2
Please give brainliest :)
The correct answer should be 4. 2 times 0.3 is 0.6. 3.4 plus 0.6 equals 4. ;)
Answer: 11x + 11
Step-by-step explanation:
This is two points equation. It could be done in various ways depending on the level of understanding of the topics. The formula goes thus
y - y₁ y₂ ₋ y₁ y₂ ₋ y₁
------ = ---------- or y ₋ y₁ = --------- ˣ ( x - x₁ )
x - x₁ x₂ ₋ x₁ x₂ ₋ x₁
Where x₁ = -1, x₂ = -1, y₁ = 6, y₂ = -5. Now substitute for the values in the formula above and solve.
y - 6 -5 - 6 -11 -11
------ = -------- = ---- = -----
x - (-1) -1 - (-1) -1 + 1 0
y - 6 -11
------ = -----
x + 1 0 ,
Now we cross multiply to have a linear equation
0( y - 6 ) = -11( x + 1 )
0 = -11x - 11, now multiply by -1
The equation now becomes
11x + 11
