The ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that, An ostrich run 6 mile in 12 minutes
We have to find how far he could come in 40 minutes
Now, according to the given information
Ostrich runs 6 miles ⇒ 12 minutes
Then, “n” miles ⇒ 40 minutes
Now, by criss cross multiplication we get,
Hence, the ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes
Answer:
more the letter x is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known is is calld a variable or sometimes an unknown. in x+2=7,x is a variable but we can work out its value if we try
Maggie would be 6
6•3=18
18-4=14
14+6=20

5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
-15 -15 subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
÷5 ÷5 divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
+8 +8 add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2 ÷2 divide both sides by 3
x = 1
Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15 Correct! x=1
