Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{2x+1} = \frac{16}{40}

Step 1: Cross multiply

We want to eliminate all denominators, so we multiply the opposite numerators and denominators

\frac{x}{2x+1} = \frac{16}{40}\\\\\\x\cdot40 = 16(2x + 1)\\\\\\40x = 32x + 16

Step 2: Solve for x

Now we want x by itself, and we have to solve for x.

  • Move all terms with x on one side

             40x = 32x + 16\\\\\\40x - 32x = 16\\\\\\8x = 16

  • Now remove all coefficients with x

             8x = 16\\\\8(x) = 16\\\\x = 16/8\\\\x = 2

José left Westcliffe on his bicycle riding at an average rate of 8 miles per hour five hours before his father left by automobil
Serga [27]

Answer:

48 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

José left Westcliffe on his bicycle riding at an average rate of 8 miles per hour five hours before his father left by automobile. The father overtook José in exactly one hour. This means Jose was riding

5 hours + 1 hour = 6 hours.

Use formula

D=r\cdot t,

where

D = distance

r = rate

t = time

In Jose's case,

D = unknown

r = 8 miles per hour

t = 6 hours

Hence,

D=8\cdot 6=48\ miles

In Jose's father case,

D = 48 miles

r = unknown

t = 1 hour (father overtook José in exactly one hour)

Hence,

48=r\cdot 1\\ \\r=48\ miles \ per \ hour
