This is how you do it: you put mile 96 over 3 and if u wanna know how many it will run in 1 hour. You cross multiply so you multiply 96 times1 and you get 96 but now you have to divide it by 3. If you do that you'll get the answer which is 32. There are other ways to do it but I just think it's way easier this way
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
-85 -85
_______________________
x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204
+34x +34x
_______________________
x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2 -x^2
____________________
34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
x = 6.
The number is 6.
Answer:
x= 25/6 it is the same in both equations
Well I can explain how Ted is wrong. 3 tenths multiplied by 100 is actually 30. The place value of the three goes up 2 times and the decimal goes backward by 2.
