<span>First, group the x values together (on one side) and the other values on the other.
6x + 3 - 1/2 x = -2x +5
6x - 1/2 x + 2x = 5 - 3
Now solve!
7 and 1/2 x = 2
x = 8
Hope this helps!</span>
Answer:
12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
$4.50-$4/$4 x 100%
0.5/4x100%
50/4= 25/2 = 12.5%
Answer:
42 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
y = 0.2*x
is the equation that that defines the distance, in miles, that the boat travels in x minutes.
We know that the dolphins are at 8.4 miles from the boat.
Then when we have y = 8.4, this will mean that the boat reached the dolphins.
Then we need to solve the equation:
y = 8.4 = 0.2*x
for x
To do that, we just need to isolate x in one side of the equation, so we can just divide both sides by 0.2 to get:
8.4/0.2 = (0.2*x)/0.2
42 = x
And x is time in minutes, thus, the boat needs to travel for 42 minutes to reach the dolphins.
Answer:
y = x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
4y + 3 = 3y + x
y + 3 = x
y = x - 3
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The lines do not intersect
Discussion:
Where do the lines intersect?
5x + 4 = 5x - 3 => subtract 5x from both sides
4 = -3 => NO WAY! The lines do not intersect
Thank you,
MrB
