Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
4 ( x - 7 ) = -6x + 12
→ Expand brackets
4x - 28 = -6x + 12
→ Add 6x to both sides
10x - 28 = 12
→ Add 28 to both sides
10x = 30
→ Divide both sides by 10
x = 3
Answer:
old town has 150 steps
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of steps in the old tower be m
Mathematically, time = distance/speed
In this case, the distance is the number of steps while the speed is the rate of climbing or descending
For climbing, time spent = m/3
For descending time spent = m/2
Since it took her 25 longer when descending;
This means that;
m/2 - m/3 = 25
(3m-2m)/6 = 25
m/6 = 25
m = 6 * 25
m = 150 steps
