Answer:
input x = - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
A is modelled as y = 5x - 4
B is modelled as y = 3x + 8
We require output of A three times the output of B , then
5x - 4 = 3(3x + 8) ← distribute
5x - 4 = 9x + 24 ( subtract 9x from both sides )
- 4x - 4 = 24 ( add 4 to both sides )
- 4x = 28 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
x = - 7 ← input
Answer: a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4.7 miles per day.
If number two is meaning to add 4.7(.5)= 2.3(3) plus the original 14 miles over a three day travel from number one. Then the total distance for the six day trip would be 14+ 2.3(3)= 20.9
If it is meaning a total of 6 days traveling at half the speed
4.7÷2= 2.3 2.3 × 6= 13.8 miles
60 miles per hour. In two miles the sum of the distance the two trains traveled was 200 miles, you divide that by 2, the sum of the speed of the two trains is 100 miles per hour, now put the speed of the slow train as x and the fast as x +20, the sum of x and x +20 is 100, so 2x + 20 =100, you subtract 20 from both sides, 2x = 80, divide by 2, x = 40, the problem asks for the speed of the fast train, so, x + 20 is 60.
