Answer:
- Plan: separate the variable term from the constant term; divide by the coefficient of the variable.
- Steps: add 4 to both sides; collect terms; divide both sides by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to look a the equation to see where the variable is in relation to the equal sign, and whether there are any constants on that same side of the equal sign.
Here, the variable terms are on the left, and there is a constant there, as well. The plan for solving the equation is to eliminate the constant that is on the same side of the equation as the variable, then divide by the coefficient of the variable. To find that coefficient, we need to collect terms. In summary, the plan is to ...
- add 4 to both sides of the equation
- collect terms
- divide by the coefficient of the variable (3)
Executing that plan, the steps are ...
-2x -4 +5x +4 = 8 +4 . . . . add 4
3x = 12 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
x = 4 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
It’s a right angle. it follows the circle theorem ‘the angle in a semi-circle is 90 degrees’
To find the rate, first you divide 180mi/3hr to get 60mph. On the first day they were traveling at a rate of 60mph. It says that on the second day, they drove at the same rate and drove 300 miles. This means you divide 300mi/60mph to get 5hr. They drove 5hr on the second day. And finally, the question asks how long they drove total, so you add 3hr+5hr to get 8hr total.
Answer is 8hr.
7. 3/4 x 12 is 9 so subtract 9/12 from 12/12 to get 3/12
