40 mph would be 120 miles in 3 hours (120/40)
80 mph is 120 miles in 1.5 hours(120/80)
3 - 1.5 = 1.5, not 3 hrs
Change the speed to 20 mph( 1/2 the speed) to double the hours.
20 mph = 6 hours(120/20)
40 mph = 3 hrs(120/40)
6 - 3 = 3 hours difference
Perimeter is the sum of all three sides so in this case x+(3x+2)+(3x+2).
They also gave us the perimeter which is 39 so
39= x+(3x+2)+(3x+2)
Simplify so 39=7x+4. [x+3x+3x=7x and 2+2=4]
Then get x by itself so subtract 4 from both sides.
35=7x
Then divide both sides by 7 to get x by itself.
Which leaves us with
X=5
It is being distributed ( ex: 5(1), bring the 5 over and multiply: 5). Since -1 is the term that is distributing for both 8m and 32, multiplying both would equal= -8m (8m x -1, + x - = negative), +32 (notice the positive, - x - = positive). In conclusion, this would be -8m+32.
Answer:
x > 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 8 to both sides:
6x - 8 > 4x + 26
6x > 4x + 34
Subtract 4x from both sides:
2x > 34
Divide each side by 2:
x > 17
So, the solution is x > 17
