Answer: x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>first, we remove the parentheses. </em>
10 - 54 - 24x = 10x - 120 + 8
<em>then, we just calculate that out.</em>
-44 - 24x = 10x - 112
<em>next, we move the terms.</em>
-24x - 10x = -112 + 44
<em>then, we collect the like terms and calculate it.</em>
-34x = -68
<em>finally, we divide both sides.</em>
x = 2

The scale of the map is equal to 250 miles per 1.7 feet. or 250m/1.7ft. set up as a fraction.
Divide 250 by 1.7 to get how many miles are equal to just 1 foot.
250/1.7 = 147.058824 miles per 1 foot
Multiply that times 3.06 feet (the distance between C and D on the map)
147.058824m/1ft x 3.06ft = 450m
The actual distance between City C and City D should be 450 miles.
They are essentially asking us to solve:
Solving this equation for x tells us that it will take around 80.1 years for the materials in the vault to reduce to 357 pounds.
