Answer: 34 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The starting temperature was -5 degrees at 5am, and after two hours, the temperature was 34 degrees at 7am. The temperature increased by 39 degrees, how did we get this answer?
You add -5 and 39
-5 + 39 = 34
A tip for adding negatives:
When you get a problem similar to -5 + 39, you can actually flip them around if you need an easier understanding. So it would be 39 - 5. Both equations still equal 34 as long as you keep the values of each number!
If you notice, the positive fraction, is the one with the "x" variable in it, that simply means, the hyperbola is opening over the x-axis, so is a horizontal one, therefore
Answer:
A pound of a JELLY BEANS cost $2.5
A pound of TRAIL MIX cost $1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we can draw out two equations and solve them simultaneously.
We should make some mild assumptions to make it easier:
Let Jelly beans be j
Let Trail mix be t
Therefore, we can extract these equations.
5j + 3t =$ 17 ...........i
2j + 12t = $ 23...…..ii
Let's Multiply equation (I) by 4 so that we can easily eliminate.
20j + 12t = $ 68..... iii
Let equation (iii) minus equation (ii)
18j + 0t = $45
18j = $45
j = $45/18
j = $2.5
A pound of a JELLY BEANS cost $2.5
Let's substitute j= $2.5 in EQUATION (I) so as to solve for TRAIL MIX.
5j + 3t =$ 17
5(2.5) + 3t = 17
12.5 + 3t = 17
3t = 17 - 12.5
3t = 4.5
t = $1.5
A pound of TRAIL MIX cost $1.5
Running = 2/3
Swimming = 5/6
5/6 - 2/3 = 5/6 - 4/6 = 1/6
Answer : She spent 1/6 hour longer swimming than running.
4(2n - 9) = 10n - 8
8n - 36 = 10n - 8
8n - 8n - 36 = 10n - 8n - 8
-36 = 2n - 8
-36 + 8 = 2n - 8 + 8
-28 = 2n
-28/2 = 2n/2
-14 = n
