The first step is combining like terms. On the left side of the equation add all the numbers together that don't have and x (1/3 +2)
Hope this helped! Let me know if there is anything else I can do!
Answer:
Her speed on the summit was 35 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Her speed on the summit was "x" mph while her speed while climbing was "x - 10" mph. The distance she rode uphill was 55 miles and on the summit it was 28 miles. The total time she explored the mountain was 3 hours. Therefore:
time uphill = distance uphill / speed uphill = 55 / (x - 10)
time summit = distance summit / speed summit = 28 / x
total time = time uphill + time summit
3 = [55 / (x - 10)] + 28 / x
3 = [55*x + 28*(x - 10)]/[x*(x - 10)]
3*x*(x - 10) = 55*x + 28*x - 280
3x² - 30*x = 83*x - 280
3x² - 113*x + 280 = 0
x1 = {-(-113) + sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 35 mph
x2 = {-(-113) - sqrt[(-113)² - 4*(3)*(280)]}/(2*3) = 2.67 mph
Since her speed on the uphill couldn't be negative the speed on the summit can only be 35 mph.
5x^2+17x+6=0
(5x+2)(x+3)=0
5x+2=0 x+3=0
x=-2/5 x=-3

Answer: 46
Explanation: If Mia is paid $55 for every bicycle, she would need to fix up/sell 46 bicycles. This is because 45 x 55 = 2475 and Mia wants over 2500 but 46 x 55 = 2530. Therefore, 46 is the minimum number of bicycles.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion.
3/25 = x / 20 Notice that both times are in the denominators. Be sure you always set up a proportion that way. Like units in the denominator. Like units in the numerator.
Cross multiply
3 * 20 = 25 * x Combine
60 = 25x Divide by 25
60/25 = x
x = 2.4 miles in 20 minutes.
