The answer is C) Multiply 4 by the difference of 10 and 3, then add 5
In the question there are numerous information's of immense importance already given. Let us write them down first
Distance traveled by bike = x km
Distance traveled by bus = y km
Total distance traveled by George and Carmen = 325 km
Then
x + y = 325
Another equation can be determined by
x - y = 75
x = y + 75
Now we will put the value of x in relation to y in the first equation.
x + y =325
y + 75 + y = 325
2y = 325 - 75
2y =250
y = 250/2
= 125 km
Now putting the value of y in equation given below, we get
x + y = 325
x + 125 = 325
x = 325 - 125
= 200 km
So the distance they biked is 200 km and the distance they traveled by bus is 125 km.
Answer:
sorry this is soo blur
please follow me and mark has brilliant please
Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution
