Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8x = 1/2x + 2
5/8x - 1/2x = 2
46x = 2
x=16
So you want to get x by itself so you. First you get 5/8x and 1/2 and subtract 1/2 from both sides. Then find the common demonantor for both numbers. After use inverse operations to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction coefficient. Finally check the solution by substituting 16 for x in the original equation.
The thermometer will not directly indicate 0 °C because the thermometer need time to response. Especially alcohol in glass thermometers, the response time is slower than mercury in glass thermometers
Answer:
35 dogs
Step-by-step explanation:
x ---> the number of dogs
y ---> the number of cats
The last week of January we have 20 cats and the ratio is the same
so
\frac{x}{y}=\frac{49}{28} ----> equation A
y=20 ---> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
\frac{x}{20}=\frac{49}{28}
solve for x
x=\frac{49}{28}(20)=35 dogs
Rate * time = distance traveled
55 * 4 = 220 miles
