Answer: 20/3
So when solving this equation first distribute our 3,we will now have 3x-15=5.
Next we will Add 15 to both sides of our equation. Now we have 3x=20.Then divide our terms,and you will have 3x/3 = 20/3
<u>This will leave you with 1x=20/3. </u>
So the X is 20/3.
Hope that helped!
Answer:
Pam: $181
Amanda: $362
Julie: $452
Step-by-step explanation:
(What does Mike have to do with this problem?)
Let a = Amanda's pay
Let p = Pam's pay
Let j = Julie's pay
"Amanda made twice what Pam earned"
a = 2p
"Julie made $90 more than Amanda"
j = a + 90
j = 2p + 90
Pam earned p
Total salary
a + p + j = 2p + p + 2p + 90
Total salary
$995
2p + p + 2p + 90 = 995
5p = 905
p = 181
a = 2p = 2(181) = 362
j = 2p + 90 = 362 + 90 = 452
Answer:
Pam: $181
Amanda: $362
Julie: $452
Answer:
speed of motorcycle = 40 mph
speed of car = 50 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question
A car and a motorcycle leave at noon from the same location, heading in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the motorcycle. In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the motorcycle. Find the speed of both the car and the motorcycle, in miles per hour.
Speed = distance / time
This question would be solved using simultaneous equation
let m = average speed of the motorcycle
c = average speed of the car
c = 2m - 30 equation 1
20 =(c - m) x 2 equation 2
insert equation 1 into equation 2 and divide through by 2
10 = (2m - 30) - m
solve for m
m = 40 mph
substitute for m in equation 1
2(40) - 20 = 50 mph
