Answer:
X= -1 or X= -3 . Probably the first one
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x + 30)
x + 30 represents the number of minutes per day he practices
5 is the number of days he practices
so 5(x+30) = the total number of minutes he practices in 5 days
For example, if he practices the piano for 20 minutes per day and the violin for 30 minutes per day, he practices a total of 50 minutes per day. For 5 days that would be 5 x 50 = 250 minutes in 5 days.
Plug that into the equation
5(x+30) = 5(20+30) = 5(50) = 250
0.04 because if you divide it you get 0.04
Answer:
-7 and -5
Step-by-step explanation:
-7 and -5 added together are -12, and their product is 35.
Answer:
(8, 5) (Answer C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Write this system of linear equations in a (vertical) column:
4x - 3y = 17
5x + 4y = 60
Let's eliminate y through addition/subtraction:
Multiply 4x - 3y = 17 by 4, obtaining 16x - 12y = 68, and
multiply 5x + 4y = 60 by 3, obtaining 15x + 12y = 180. Then we have:
16x - 12y = 68
15x + 12y = 180
----------------------
31x = 248, and so x = 248/31 = 8.
Now find y. Substitute 8 for x in 5x + 4y = 60: 5(8) + 4y = 60, or
4y = 60 - 40 = 20.
Thus, y = 20/4, or y = 5.
The solution is (8, 5) (Answer C)
