(2x-3)/(2(x+2))
x cannot equal -2
The planes will pass each other in 1.14 hours.
Why?
To solve the problem, we must remember that since both planes are heading toward each other, the speed to the calculations will be their combined speeds.
The speed will be:
Now, calculating the time, we have:
Hence, the planes will pass each other in 1.14 hours.
Have a nice day!
Sat + Sun = 52
Sun = Sat + 8
Sat + Sat + 8 = 52
2Sat + 8 = 52
2Sat + 8-8 = 52-8
2Sat = 44
2Sat/2 = 44/2
Sat = 22
Sun = 22 + 8
Sun = 30
Check
Sat + Sun = 52
22 + 30 = 52
52 = 52
Answer: 529 students
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we will be using the formula for finding averages:
> (total sum of student weights) ÷ (total sum of students) = (average of student weights)
Plugging in the values that are given in the problem, you get:
> 16,293.2 ÷ x = 30.8
Where x is equal to the total sum of students. From here, it's a simple equation to isolate x, and find out what numerical value x is equal to. In case you are unsure how to do this, I've created a clear step by step process for how to do this (NOTE: The slash represents division, while the asterisk represents multiplication.):
> 16,293.2 / x = 30.8
> (16,293.2 / x) * x = (30.8) * x
> 16,293.2 = 30.8 * x
> (16,293.2) / 30.8 = (30.8 * x) / 30.8
> 529 = x
In total, there are 529 students in the school.
