Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding the same number to both sides of the equation is an acceptable move. The addition property of equality tells Grace that the value of the variable will remain unchanged by such a move.
Her new equation would be ...
2x +20 +10 = 15 +10
2x +30 = 25 . . . . the result of Grace's move
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
There may be very good reasons why Grace would want to do that. If solving the equation is Grace's intent, that move would be counterproductive. For the purpose of solving the equation, it would be more productive to either subtract 20 from both sides, or divide both sides by 2. These steps would give, respectively, ...
2x = -5
x +10 = 7.5
Answer:
a) d = 3.6t
b) 10.8 miles
c) 1.2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
For part a:
Slope of a line: y = mx + b
In this case, the equation would be: d = mt,
where m represents the speed Caden is walking at.
Note: b = 0 in this case because when Caden starts walking on the treadmill, he hasn't really covered any distance yet.
Therefore, plugging in a speed of 3.6 miles per hour, the equation is:
d = 3.6t
For part b:
This is a simple instance of plugging in 3 hours for our t value.
Therefore, d = 3.6 (3)
d = 10.8 miles
For part c:
In this case, we are given that d = 4.32 miles.
Therefore, 4.32 = 3.6t
Dividing both sides by 3.6, we get
t = 1.2 hours
