2x + 5 = 21

Subtract both sides 5

2x + 5 - 5 = 21 - 5

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}  =  \frac{16}{2}  \\

x = 8

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the value of "x", we need to isolate the "x" variable completely. The first step in isolating the variable is to remove the constant on the L.H.S. This can be done by subtracting 5 both sides.

⇒ 2x + 5 = 21

⇒ 2x + 5 - 5 = 21 - 5

⇒ 2x = 16

The last step in isolating the "x" variable is to isolate the cooeficient of x. This can be done by dividing the cooeficient of x both sides.

⇒ 2x = 16

[Cooeficient of x is 2]

⇒ \frac{2x}{2}  = \frac{16}{2}

⇒ x  = \frac{16}{2} = 8

In conclusion, the value of the "x" variable is 8.

Peter left city a at 9:00 am towards city b at an average speed of 50 mph. Thirty minutes later Emily also leaves city a towards
Archy [21]

Answer:

62.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Peter :

Speed = 50mph

Start Time = 9 a. M

Emily :

Start time = 9:30

Speed = x

In other to catch up at 11:30 :

Peter (11:30 - 9:00) = 2hours 30 minutes = 2.5 hrs

Total distance moved by Peter :

Speed * time = 50 * 2.5 = 125miles

For Emily to cover 125 miles in (11:30 - 9:30) = 2 hours

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 125 miles / 2 hours

Speed = 62.5 miles per hour
