<h2>
Forming Equations from Word Problems</h2>
To form equations from word problems, we can derive mathematical operations as well as variables from the given information.
In this case, each time Walker reads a certain number of pages, we subtract that from the total number of pages left to know how many pages is left to read.
<h2>Solving the Question</h2>
<em>Let r represent the pages left to read.</em>
<em />
792 pages in total
Walker reads 15 pages a day during the week and 25 pages a day during the weekend.
- There are 5 weekdays, and he reads 15 pages each of those days. ⇒ <em>r</em> = 792 - 5×15
- There are 2 weekend days, and he reads 25 pages each of those days.
⇒ <em>r</em> = 792 - (5×15 + 2×25)
5 weeks have passed
- Multiply the terms representing the number of pages he reads a week by 5, for 5 weeks.
⇒ <em>r</em> = 792 - (5×15 + 2×25)×5
<h2>Answer</h2>
<em>r</em> = 792 - (5×15 + 2×25)×5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Method
Inversely in this sentence means
y = k/x
So you first step is to find the value of k. You do that by setting up an inverse relationship with y = 2 , x = 5
2 = k/5 Multiply both sides by 5
2*5 = 5*k/5
10 = k
Now you are able to answer the question.
y = 10/x
3= 10/x Multiply both sides by x
3*x = x * 10/x
3x = 10 Divide both sides by 3
3x/3 = 10/3
x = 3.33 or x = 3 1/3
Answer
x = 3.33 or x = 3 1/3
-9x=-36
divide both sides by -9
to get x by itself
to get +x
-9x/-9= -36/-9
cross out -9 and -9, then becomes -1*-1*x= x
x= -36/-9
answer:
x= 4
24×13=312
4680/312= 15ft (height)
Answer:
-15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The next step would be to distribute the negative two through the parenthesis,
-2n-6=9
then you add the six, -2n= 15
then you divide by 15 by negative 2 and get -15/2
