The answer to your question is 9/5
You want to solve for x first:
x+4-3=1 (combine 4 and -3)
x+1=1 (subtract 1 on both sides)
x=0
Answer:
The speed of the biker is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you call the speed of the walker x, and the speed of the biker 2.5x.
Then you know that speed times time equals distance, so you set up and equation. You do x times 2, which is 2x, and then 2.5x times 2, which is 5x. Then, since the distance between them is 18 miles, the equation would be 5x-2x=18. You would get 3x=18, and x is 6. So 6 is the speed of the walker, and 6 times 2.5 = 15, so the speed of the biker is 15.
Answer:
1. X/2 = 4
2. 3x - 2 = 11
3. 2x - 5 = 15
4. 2x-1=12
5. 9x = 2(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
It will take 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this be going "backwards".
You have 2.5 inches of snow falling per hour for x hours until you get 8 inches of snow, which can be represented like this:
2.5x=8 From here you being to solve by isolating x on one side of the equation. You would divide both sides by 2.5 to do this
2.5x=8
/2.5 /2.5
8 divided by 2.5 is 3.2 and you then get
x=3.2
It takes 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall
