Answer:

The person would have to play 2 games for the two bowling alleys to cost the same amount

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the number of games that makes the two costs equal is x

∵ A bowling alley charges $2.50 per game plus $4 to rent shoes

∵ The number of games is x

∴ The cost = 2.50x + 4

∵ A second bowling alley charges $4 per game plus $1 to rent shoes

∵ The number of games is x

∴ The cost = 4x + 1

∵ They have the same cost

→ Equate the 2 expressions above

∴ 4x + 1 = 2.50x + 4

→ Subtract 2.50x from both sides

∵ 4x - 2.50x + 1 = 2.50x - 2.50x + 4

∴ 1.50x + 1 = 4

→ Subtract 1 from both sides

∵ 1.50x + 1 - 1 = 4 - 1

∴ 1.50x = 3

→ Divide both sides by 1.50

∴ x = 2

∴ The person would have to play 2 games for the two bowling alleys to

   cost the same amount

During a bike challenge riders have to collect various colored ribbons each half mile they collect a red ribbon each 8th mile th
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Green and Blue ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

They collect

Red Ribbon = ½ mile

Green Ribbon = ⅛ mile

Blue Ribbon = ¼ mile

To find?

Which colors of ribbons will be collected at the ¾ mile mark.

The interpretation of the question is to test which of the above fractions can divide ¾ without a remainder; in other words, multiples of ¾.

Testing each fraction.

Red Ribbon = ½

¾ ÷ ½

= ¾ * 2

= 3/2

= 1.5 or 1 Remainder 1

This is not an exact multiple of ¾. So, the red ribbon won't be passed here.

Green Ribbon = ⅛

¾ ÷ ⅛

= ¾ * 8

= 24/8

= 3

This is an exact multiple of ¾. So, the green ribbon will be collected.

Testing the last ribbon

Blue = ¼

¾ ÷ ¼

= ¾ * 4

= 3

This is an exact multiple of ¾. So, the blue ribbon will be collected.

Hence, the green and blue ribbons will be collected at ¾ mile mark

15 + (5-x)/x=30 solve for x
elixir [45]

Answer:

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

15+(5-x)/x=30

1) Subtract 15 from both sides:

(5-x)/x=15

2) Multiply both sides by x:

5-x=15x

3) Add x to both sides:

16x=5

4) Divide both sides by 16:

x=5/16

Solve the following equation show your work 3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1
Reika [66]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we must simply solve for x.  To do this, we will need equation operations, and the use of the distributive property.

Let's work this line by line until we have the value for x:

3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1

3*-x + 3*(2x + 1) = x - 1

-3x + 6x + 3 = x - 1

3x + 3 = x - 1

2x = -4

x = -2

Now we can check our answer for x by plugging back into the original equation and see if the left hand side is equal to the right hand side:

3{-x + (2x + 1)} = x - 1

3{-(-2) + (2(-2) + 1)} ?= (-2) - 1

3{2 + (-4 + 1)} ?= -3

3{2 + (-3)} ?= -3

3{-1} ?= -3

-3 == -3

Thus, we have found the solution for x to be equivalent to negative 2.

Cheers.
