Answer:

(Note that I used decimals when explaining because they're easier for me, but if the question asks for the answer in fraction form, just remember that 1/2 = 0.5 and 1/4 = 0.25).

3.5w + 8 = 3.25w + 10

0.25w + 8 = 10

0.25w = 2

w = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the growth rate of each sunflower changes a certain amount per week, you'd put the given number in the empty boxes with the w's. To help illustrate my point, you'd put 3 1/2 or 3.5 in the first empty box, and you'd put 3 1/4 or 3.25 in the second empty box.

So now you'll have 3.5w + 8 = 3.25w + 10.

Now we'll combine like terms by: subtracting 3.25w from 3.5w to get 0.25w, and subtracting 8 from 10 to get 2.

Now we have: 0.25w = 2, and finally we'll divide 0.25 on both sides to get w = 8.

Hope this helps you :)

Which of the following represents "eight times the difference of a number and seventeen is thirty"?

Kryger [21]

Answer:

B: 8(N - 17) = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the wording multiplies the difference by 8, the appropriate choice is B.

A: "the difference of the product eight times a number and seventeen" It is less ambiguous if you can word it as "the difference of seventeen and the product of 8 and a number is negative 30".

C: "The difference of eight times a number and seventeen times the same number is thirty."

A bus driver follows a morning route and an afternoon route each day. Because there are more cities on the morning route, the av

lisov135 [29]

Answer: The correct option is B, i.e., 40 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Let the speed of bus in the afternoon route be x.

From the given information the average speed is 12 miles per hour less than the afternoon route. So, the speed of bus in the morning route is x-12.

$\text{Average Speed}=\frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}$

So,

$\text{Total Time}=\frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Average Speed}}$

Time taken by bus in morning route is,

$\text{Total Time}=\frac{70}{x-12}$

Time taken by bus in afternoon route is,

$\text{Total Time}=\frac{100}{x}$

Since it is given that the time is same, so

$\frac{70}{x-12}=\frac{100}{x}$

$70x=100(x-12)$

$70x=100x-1200$

$30x=1200$

$x=40$

Since x represents the speed of bus in afternoon route, therefore the correct option is B, i.e., 40 miles per hour.

Solve -6x-5=37 justify each step

Dafna1 [17]

So first you write out the problem -6x-5=37 then add 5 to both sides then you'll get 42 so now your problem will be -6x=42 once you have that divide -6 on both sides and you will get x= -7

hope that helps!
