Answer: x=2.5, and x-1=1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3 = 3x - 1
(-x)= 3 = 2x - 1
(÷2) = 1.5 = x - 1
(+1)= 2.5 = x
Yes, it is a rational number.
Answer:
opening the brackets we have;
3t+15+5t+15=-4t-12
collect like terms
3t+5t+15+15=-4t-12
8t+30=-4t-12
8t-4t=-12+30
4t=18
t=18/4
He swam 1,800 laps total in 12 weeks. Each week, he swam 150 laps because 1800/2=150 in 5 days. Each day, he swam 30 laps because 150/5=30, in 45 minutes. His average time was 30/45=2/3 At that rate, in one hour, he would swim 2/3*60 = 2/3 x 60 = 40 laps/hour Final answer is 40
1.
Storing milk at temperatures smaller than 35°F can affect its quality of taste.
hence t > 35°F
storing milk at temperatures greater than 40°F is an unsafe food practice. hence
t < 40°F
so correct choice is
C. t > 35 AND t < 40
2.
15| x-7|+4=10|x-7|+4
subtracting 4 both side
15| x-7|+4- 4 =10|x-7|+4 - 4
15| x-7| = 10|x-7|
this is possible when |x-7| = 0
hence x - 7 = 0
x = 7
hence correct choice is
C. only x=7
3.
|x+1|+5=2
we know that , |x+1| ≥ 0
adding 5 both side
|x+1| + 5 ≥ 0 + 5
|x+1| + 5 ≥ 5
hence the relation |x+1|+5=2 is false.
C. no solution
|4x+12|=0
4x+12 = 0
x = -12/4
x = - 3
hence B. solution
|3x|=9
3x =
9
x =
9/3
x =
3
hence
A. two solutions
