Answer:
|x - 5| = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are not given a zero on the number line, we do the following:
Average = midpoint between two numbers on the number line
For this number line,
Average = 3 + 7 ÷ 2
Average = 5
Next we find how many units away are each number from the middle:
3 is 2 units away from 5
7 is 2 units away from 5
Units away = 2
Let's use the formula:
|x - average| = Units away
Substitute values into equation
|x - 5| = 2
Now we solve
Solve for x over the integers:
|x - 5| = 2
Split the equation into two possible equations:
x - 5 = 2 or x - 5 = -2
Add 5 to both sides:
x = -5 + 5 = 2 + 5 or x - 5 + 5 = -2 + 5
Answer:
x = 7 or x = 3
LOOK AT THE GRAPH AND NUMBER LINE
100-9(2+6)=100-9(8)=100-72=
so the answer is 28
3.5 + 2 = 2x - 10
5.5 = 2x -10
+10 +10

7.75 = x
7.75 is the answer
This cannot be factored or factored by grouping.
Answer:
1. 1.5 inches per minute
2. 90 inches per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
speed =
1. total distance covered = +
=
=
= 4 inches
Total time taken = +
=
=
= 3 minutes
The ants average speed =
= 1
= 1.5
The ants speed is 1 inches per minute.
2. Since;
60 minutes = 1 hour
3 minutes = x hours
x =
=
= 0.05 hours
Speed =
= 90 inches per hour
The red ants speed is 90 inches per hour.
