Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

X will refer to the number.

X+57( the number added to the original.)=4x. (x time 4)

X+57=4x.

Subtract x from both sides to get the variable on one side.

(X+57)-x =(4x)-x

57=3x. You would then divide by 3 on both sides to again get integer isolated.

57/3=3/3x.

57/3=19. 3/3=1.

19=x.

the larger of two number is 15 more than three times the smaller number. If the sum of the two numbers is 63, find tge numbers.

irakobra [83]

X is the smaller number. 3x + 15 is the larger number. So x + 3x + 15 = 63. 4x + 15 = 63.
4x = 48. x = 12. (Smaller number) The larger 36 + 15 or 51.

How do you factor an expression

Gnoma [55]

Each term of 10x + 5 has 5 as a factor, and 10x + 5 = 5(2x + 1). To factor an expression by removing common factors proceed as in example 1. 3x is the greatest common factor of all three terms. Next look for factors that are common to all terms, and search out the greatest of these.

Please help question 4

Burka [1]

Answer:

40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

let distance be d and time be t

Since d varies directly with t, then the equation relating them is

d = kt ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition d = 75 when t = 3

k = $\frac{d}{t}$ = $\frac{75}{3}$ = 25

d = 25t ← equation of variation

when t = 1.6, then

d = 25 × 1.6 = 40 miles
