Speed was increased 20% to 48 mph. What was the speed before the increase

Mathematics
1 answer:
grigory [225]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

40 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed increased by 20%, now the speed is 120% of the original speed.

48 mph is 120%, so dividing by 6 will get 8 which is 20%.

If 8 is 20%, you can multiply it by 5 to get 40, which is 100%. This means 40 mph is the original speed.

Hope this helps!

7b + 3 – 4b = 3 – 3(b + 4)
svlad2 [7]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  b

Discussion:

7b + 3 - 4b = 3 - 3(b+4)  =>

7b + 3 - 4b = 3 - 3b -12 =>

(7b - 4b) + 3   = -3b - 9 =>

3b + 3 = -3b -9    =>      Add 9 to both sides

3b + 12 = -3b -9 + 9  =>

3b + 12 = -3b  =>         ( add 3b to both sides)

6b + 12 = 0 =>             (subtract 12 from both sides)

6b = -12 =>

b = -12/6 = -2


Thank you,

MrB
