1. sum of a number plus 6 is 7 times the number:
n+6 = 7n
2. qoutent of a number and 5 is 8
n/5 =8
n = 5*8
n = 40
3. distance = speed times time
so d = 55t
<u>Answer:</u>
- The length of BC is 25 units.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>We know that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. Hence, we know that AB = AC. Let's first solve for x.</u>
- => 4x + 1 = 2x + 23
- => 4x - 2x = -1 + 23
- => 2x = 22
- => <u>x = 11</u>
<u>Now, let's substitute the value into the expression.</u>
- => 3x - 8
- => 3(11) - 8
- => 33 - 8
- => <u>25</u>
<u>Hence,</u><u> the length of BC is 25 units.</u>
Hoped this helped.
Solve for x:x/5 - 2 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/5 - 2 over the common denominator 5: x/5 - 2 = x/5 - (10)/5:x/5 - (10)/5 = x/2 + 3
x/5 - (10)/5 = (x - 10)/5:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/2 + 3 over the common denominator 2: x/2 + 3 = x/2 + 6/2:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 6/2
x/2 + 6/2 = (x + 6)/2:(x - 10)/5 = (x + 6)/2
Multiply both sides by 10:(10 (x - 10))/5 = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/5 = (5×2)/5 = 2:2 (x - 10) = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/2 = (2×5)/2 = 5:2 (x - 10) = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 x + 30
Subtract 5 x from both sides:(2 x - 5 x) - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
2 x - 5 x = -3 x:-3 x - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
5 x - 5 x = 0:-3 x - 20 = 30
Add 20 to both sides:(20 - 20) - 3 x = 20 + 30
20 - 20 = 0:-3 x = 30 + 20
30 + 20 = 50:-3 x = 50
Divide both sides of -3 x = 50 by -3:(-3 x)/(-3) = 50/(-3)
(-3)/(-3) = 1:x = 50/(-3)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 50/(-3) by -1:Answer: x = (-50)/3
As a waitress, at the end of the night you have to tip 3% (same as 1/33) of your total earnings to the bussers and hosts.
equation:
total earnings (E) times (3% or 1/33)= money tipped to bussers and hosts(T).
E*1/33=T
Answer:
28/21
Step-by-step explanation:
28/21 is the equivalent to 4/3.
We know this is the fraction we are looking for because 28 + 21 = 49
Hope that helps!
