Answer:

3x - 2 = 4

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 = 4 ---> plus 2 on both sides

3x = 6 --> divide by 3 on both sides

x = 2

A cab in NYC charges you $1.25 a mile and a flat fee of $4 to ride in the cab. A cab in Chicago charges you $0.75 a mile but a f

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

After 4 miles driven by cab the amount would be same in both cities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of miles be 'x'.

Given:

In NYC

Flat fee of cab = $4

Per mile charge = $1.25

Total cab charges is equal to sum of Flat fee of cab and per mile charge multiplied by number of miles.

Framing in equation form we get;

Total cab charges in NYC = $4+1.25x$

In Chicago

Flat fee of cab = $6

Per mile charge = $0.75

Total cab charges is equal to sum of Flat fee of cab and per mile charge multiplied by number of miles.

Framing in equation form we get;

Total cab charges in Chicago = $6+0.75x$

Now we need to find number of miles driven so that the amount could same in both cities.

Total cab charges in NYC = Total cab charges in Chicago

$4+1.25x=6+0.75x$

Combining like terms we get;

$1.25x-0.75x=6-4\\\\0.5x=2$

using Division Property we will divide both side by 0.5 we get;

$\frac{0.5x}{0.5} =\frac{2}{0.5} \\\\x=4$

Hence After 4 miles driven by cab the amount would be same in both cities.

Sofian's current age is (2x + 3) times Mastura's age. Given that Mastura's current age is (x + 5) years and 6 years ago, the sum

Sliva [168]

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Given :}}}}}}$

★ Sofian's current age is (2x + 3) times Mastura's age.

★ Mastura's current age is (x + 5) years

★ 6 years ago, the sum of their ages is 44 years.

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{To \: Find :}}}}}}$

★ The value of x.

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

According to the question,

Present age of Mastura = (x + 5) years

Present age of Sofian = (2x + 3) (x + 5) years, i.e :

$\longrightarrow \tt (2x + 3) (x + 5)$

$\longrightarrow \tt 2 {x}^{2} + 10x + 3x + 15$

$\longrightarrow \tt 2 {x}^{2} + 13x + 15 \: years$

Now,

Mastura's age 6 years ago = (x + 5) - 6

=> x + 5 - 6

=> x - 1

Sofian's age 6 years ago = 2x² + 13x + 15 - 6

= 2x² + 13x + 9

Using the condition provided by the question, 

Mastura's age 6 years ago + Sofian's age 6 years ago = 44

$\longrightarrow \tt (x - 1) + (2 {x}^{2} + 13x + 9) = 44$

$\longrightarrow \tt x - 1 + 2 {x}^{2} + 13x + 9 = 44$

$\longrightarrow \tt 2 {x}^{2} + 14x + 8 = 44$

$\longrightarrow \tt 2 {x}^{2} + 14x + 8 - 44 = 0$

$\longrightarrow \tt 2 {x}^{2} + 14x - 36= 0$

• Taking "2" common.

$\longrightarrow \tt 2 ({x}^{2} + 7x - 18) = 0$

$\longrightarrow \tt {x}^{2} + 7x - 18 = \dfrac{0}{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {x}^{2} + 7x - 18= 0$

• Using splitting the middle term

$\longrightarrow \tt {x}^{2} + 9x - 2x - 18 = 0$

$\longrightarrow \tt x(x + 9) - 2(x + 9) = 0$

$\longrightarrow \tt (x + 9) (x - 2) = 0$

either $\tt (x + 9) = 0 \: \: or \: \: (x - 2) = 0$

$\longrightarrow \tt x = - 9 \: \: or \: \: x = 2$

[As the age cannot be negative. So x = - 9 is rejected]

$\therefore \tt \: x = \red{ 2}$

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Verification :}}}}}}$

According to the condition provided by the question, 

• Mastura's age 6 years ago + Sofian's age 6 years ago = 44

$\longrightarrow \tt x - 1 + 2 {x}^{2} + 13x + 9 = 44$

Putting x = 2 we get,

$\longrightarrow \tt 2 - 1 + 2( {2})^{2} + 13(2) + 9 = 44$

$\longrightarrow \tt 1 + 2 \times 4 + 26+ 9 = 44$

$\longrightarrow \tt 1 + 8 + 26+ 9 = 44$

$\longrightarrow \tt 9 + 26+ 9 = 44$

$\longrightarrow \tt 18 + 26 = 44$

$\longrightarrow \tt 44 = 44$

Hence verified.

Write 3 equivalent ratios for 17:69

Digiron [165]

<h3>♫ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: // Hello There ! // :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ♫</h3>

➷ Double the values:

(17 : 69) x 2 = 34 : 138

Multiply both sides by 10:

(17 : 69) x 10 = 170 : 690

Triple the values:

(17 : 69) x 3 = 51 : 207
