Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The goal is to get the x to be on one side of the equation on its own.
-6x = -18
To get rid of the -6, we would have to do the opposite of what it's doing in the equation - in this case, we would divide, as it's the opposite of multiplying.
What we do to one side of the equation, we have to do to the other.
-6x/-6 = x
-18/-6 = 3
x = 3
Hope that makes sense!
The answer will be 9 1/12 because if you add them up you get 11/12. So the mixed number would be 9 1/12
The first triangle has a perimeter of 4+6+10 = 20.
The 2nd longest side is 6/20 = 3/10 of the perimeter. In the larger triangle, the 2nd longest side will have length (3/10)*60 = 18.
_____
These side lengths mean the "triangle" is a line segment. That is, it has zero area.
Assuming Lindsey takes 5 hours to mow a lawn, she earns from twelve lawns
12*70=$840.
If the above assumption is not correct, @funnyork2005 needs to clarify the question.
<span>Let x = the miles Jeanie ran
y = the miles Jeanie biked
T = 2 hours total time for the duathlon
v1 = 8.5 mph Jeanie's running speed and
v2 = 16 mph Jeanie's biking speed
But T = Jean's time she ran t1 + time she biked t2 I. e t1 + t2 = 2
So we have average speed v2 when she biked = distance (y) / time (t2)
Distance y = v2 * t2 = 16 * t2 and distance when she ran x = 8.5 * t1
Since she covered 27 miles while running and biking we have
x + y = 27
8.5t1 + 16t2 =27 ------(1)
t1 + t2 = 2 --------------(2)
The simultaneous equation gives us
t1 = 2/3 and t2 which is time she biked = 4/3
So 4/3 = 1 1/3. Which is 1 hour 20 minutes</span>
