Answer:
n=13
Step-by-step explanation:
24=3(n-5)
24=3n-15
-3n=-24-15
-3n=-39
n=13
If we set the unknown distance (in miles) as x, then we set up an equation according to the data, we can solve for x.
Time taken to go to resort : x/48
Time taken to return : x/40
Total time = x/48+x/40 = 11
Solve for x
common multiple between 48 and 40 = 240
so
5x/240 + 6x/240 = 11
(5x+6x)/240 = 11
11x = 11*240, => x=240
Distance from home to resort is 240 miles
Given:
Number of students = 35
Two out of every five boys in the club are boys.
To find:
The number of students in the club that are boys.
Solution:
Two out of every five boys in the club are boys. It means, the ratio of boys to the total number of student is 2:5.
Let the number of boys be 2x and number of students be 5x.
According to the question,


Now, the number of boys is


Therefore, 14 students in the club are boys.
3 x - 7 = 5 x + 13
3 x - 5x = 13 + 7
-2x = 20
x = 20 / -2
x = - 10
