Answer:

x=-1.625  Decimal form  

x= -13/8    Fraction form

Step-by-step explanation:

3(-2x-1)=2(x+5)

Use distributive property to solve-

-6x-3=2x+10

Now add like terms

-6x-3=2x+10

    +3       +3

   -6x=2x+13  (get the x by itself)

  -2x    -2x

-8x=13     Divide

x= -1.625   Decimal form

x=-13/8   Fraction form

The sum of -4 and 5 times a number is multiplied by 3. The result is 212 less than 7 times the number. What is the number?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

104

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put the word equation into a numerical equation.

-4+5x=7x-212                            This is our equation

-4=2x-212                                  I subtracted 5x from both sides

208=2x                                     I added 212 to both sides

104=x                                         I divided both sides by 2

alina1380 [7]

You would need to add 0.25 from t to get the number of hours ( this would be the total number of hours she has raced) and then multiply that by her speed.

The equation would be d = 35(t+0.25)
