Answer:

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

7 + 2x/3 = 5

Subtract 7 from both sides,

2x/3 = 5-7

2x/3 = -2

Multiply by 3,

2x = -2*3

Divide by 2,

x = -2*3 / 2

x = -3

Jackson estimated 637 ÷ 78 as 640 ÷ 80. He reasoned that 64 tens divided by 8 tens should be 8 tens. Is Jackson’s reasoning corr

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

the correct solution has been explained

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackson,s reasoning is incorrect because it should be 8 ones and not 8 tens that would give 64

$\frac{640}{80} = \frac{64}{8} = 8$

Moreover, $\frac{637}{78} is\ not\ equal\ to \frac{640}{8}$

as $\frac{637}{78}= 8.16$

whereas $\frac{640}{80}$ = 8

clearly, both quantities are different

How do i solve this?

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding segments are proportional, so you can write any of several equations relating the different segment lengths. Here's one way:

top segment/bottom segment = x/(x+5) = (x-2)/(x+1)

Multiply by the product of denominators:

(x +1)x = (x +5)(x -2)

x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

10 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10 -x -x² to both sides of the equation

5 = x . . . . . divide by 2

Dennis can walk 2.833 miles each hour . About how far can he walk in 3 hours and 15 minutes

Bezzdna [24]

well, let's split the hours in minutes, so since 1 hr is 60 minutes, so he can walk 2.833 miles in 60 minutes, well, 3 hrs is 3*60 = 180 minutes, then we add 15 minutes, that's 195 minutes.

if he can walk 2.833 miles in 60 minutes, how long will it be for 195 minutes?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&minutes\\ \cline{1-2} 2.833&60\\ x&195 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.833}{x}=\cfrac{60}{195}\implies \cfrac{2.833}{x}=\cfrac{4}{13} \\\\\\ 36.829=4x\implies \cfrac{36.829}{4}=x\implies 9.20725 = x$
