Answer: w=\frac{12}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for w, we want to isolate the variable.

\frac{1}{3}w +\frac{5}{6}w-2=-w        [add both sides by 2 and w]

\frac{1}{3}w +\frac{5}{6}w+w=2           [convert to same denominator]

\frac{2}{6}w +\frac{5}{6}w+\frac{6}{6} w=2         [add]

\frac{13}{6} w=2                          [multiply both sides by 6/13]

w=\frac{12}{13}

Now we know that w=\frac{12}{13}.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3w + 5/6w - 2 = -w    Collect like terms on the left.

Before I do, I'm going to assume the question is (1/3)w + (5/6)w - 2 = - w

(1/3)w + (5/6)w - 2 = - w

 

1/3 + 5/6 = 2/6 + 5/6 = 7/6

(7/6)w - 2 = -w             Add w to both sides

(7/6)w + w - 2 = 0        Combine the left

(7/6)w + 6/6 w - 2 = 0

(13 / 6) w - 2 = 0          Add 2 to both sides

(13/ 6) w = 2                 Divide by 13/6

w = (2/1 ) ÷ (13/6)          Invert the denominator and multiply

w = 2/1 * 6/13

w = 12/13

<u>Question 1 solution:</u>
You have two unknowns here:

Let the Water current speed = W

Let Rita's average speed = R

We are given <em>two </em>situations, where we can form <em>two equations</em>, and therefore solve for the <em>two unknowns, W, R</em>:

Part 1)  W→ , R←(against current, upstream) 
If Rita is paddling at 2mi/hr against the current, this means that the current is trying to slow her down. If you look at the direction of the water, it is "opposing" Rita, it is "opposite", therefore, our equation must have a negative sign for water<span>:  

</span>R–W=2  - equation 1

Part 2)  W→ , R<span>→</span>(with current)
Therefore, R+W=3  - equation 2

From equation 1, W=R-2, 
Substitute into equation 2.
R+(R–2)=3
2R=5
R=5/2mi/hr

So when W=0 (still), R=5/2mi/hr

Finding the water speed using the same rearranging and substituting process:

1...               R=2+W
2...  (2+W)+W=3
                 2W=1
                   W=1/2mi/hr

The price of a pair of shoes and a shirt before tax is $24. There is a 7% sales tax on the shoes and the shirt. How much total m
Anna007 [38]
B. You would need to multiply 7% and 24 and you should get 1.68 and that’s how much money you are paying in taxes then add the 1.68 to the $24 and you get $25.68

How do i do 3=4(x-2)+5-3x
SashulF [63]

Answer:

6 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we simplify the parenthesis by distributing the 4

3 = 4(x - 2) + 5 - 3x

3 = 4x - 8 + 5 - 3x

then, you add like terms

3 = x - 3

then add 3 to both sides to isolate x

6 = x
