1.) 4 - t = 3(t - 1) - 5
4 - t = 3t - 3 - 5
4 - t = 3t - 8
3t + t = 4 + 8
4t = 12
t = 12/4 = 3
2.) 8x - 2(x + 1) = 2(3x - 1)
8x - 2x - 2 = 6x - 2
6x - 2 = 6x - 2
0 = 0
solution is identity.
3.) 3(c - 2) = 2(c - 6)
3c - 6 = 2c - 12
3c - 2c = -12 + 6
c = -6
4.) 0.5(m + 4) = 3(m - 1)
0.5m + 2 = 3m - 3
3m - 0.5m = 2 + 3
2.5m = 5
m = 5/2.5 = 2
m = 2
Answer:
if they are equal then it would be 6.5
there are 5 1/5 in an hour
so multiply 1/2 by 5
1/2 = 0.5
0.5 *5 = 2.5 miles in 1 hour
Answer:
Theresa is 58.82 in tall
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----------> Paul and Steve heights
y----------> Theresa height
we know that
1 1/2-------> 3/2---> 1.5
1 1/3-------> 4/3----> 1.33
Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height
x=1.5y-16-------> equation 1
Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height
x=1.33y-6------> equation 2
equals 1 and 2
1.5y-16=1.33y-6
1.5y-1.33y=-6+16
0.17y=10----------> y=58.82 in
x=1.5y-16------> 1.5*(58.82)-16------> x=72.24 in
the answer is
Theresa is 58.82 in tall
