Step-by-step explanation:
(7 + x) / 3 = 2x - 5
7 + x = 3(2x - 5) (multiply 3 on both sides)
7 + x = 6x - 15 (distributive property)
5x = 22 (arrange like terms)
x = 4.4 (divide 5 on both sides)
Let
x------> <span>speed on the bicycle
y------> </span><span>speed walking
we know that
</span>x=6+y------> equation 1<span>
speed=distance /time-------> time=distance/speed
1/y=2.5/x-------> y=x/2.5------> x=2.5y-------> equation 2
equals 1 and 2
6+y=2.5y-----> 2.5y-y=6------> 1.5y=6-----> y=6/1.5-----> y=4 mi/h
x=6+y-----> x=6+4-----> x=10 mi/h
the answer is
the speed walking is 4 mi/h

Answer:
x=3.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+9=15
2x=15-9
2x=6
x=3
4x=15
x=15/4
I believe that the answer is 6/-5.
