The answer is 45 mins,
Since
1/2 = 30mins
2 miles
15+15mins
3miles
15+15+15mins
= 45mins
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a rectangle these two equations for the length have to equal each other.
2x+4=7x-1
We now need to get all of the x's on one side and constant numbers on the other side.
add 1 to both sides and subtract 2x from both sides.
5=5x
divide 5 from both sides.
x=1
The ratio is 4:5
so girls=4x
and boys=5x
(because you don't know how many boys or girls there are)
then the equation would be
4x+5x=18
9x=18
so x=2
then 2 times 4 which equals 8
and 2 times 5 which equals 10
so there are 8 girls and 10 boys
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
let the unknown be y (x is used as times(multiplication) )
(y-17)x-6=-138
add /-6 to both sides
y-17x-6/-6=-138/-6
y-17=23
make y independent/add 17 to both sides
y-17+17=23+17
y=40
or in an easier way
-138/-6 =23
23+17=40
simply reversing the question to get the answer
