6 0

Divide by 5 each side
X+2=4
Subtract 2 from each side
X=2

5(2+2)=20
Does work

In algebra when isolating (leaving alone on one side) x, you do the opposite operation, thus multiplying when you are trying to get rid of a division and vice versa

A cyclist rides his bike at a rate of 21 miles per hour. What is this rate in miles per minute? How many miles will the cyclist

5 days ago, hope this still helps though!

Alright 21 miles per hour. We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour. So this is basically saying 21 miles per 60 minutes. To find the rate for miles per minute, you divide 21 by 60 which is 0.35.

In one minute the cyclist rides 0.35 miles
In two minutes the cyclist rides 0.7 miles

In the following equation, when x=3, what is the value of y? -4x + 3y = 12

deff fn [24]

Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(3) = -12

to get -12 to 12 you need to add 24 to -12 to make it 12.

so 3 (8) = 24

so -12 + 24 =12
