Answer:
x=16/3
Step-by-step explanation:
left part : -1+3x-8
right part: 7
left part = right part
-1+3x-8=7
left part +8= right part +8
-1 + 3x -8 +8=7+8
-1+3x=15
left part : -1+3x
right part : 15
left part+1=right part+1
-1+3x+1=15+1
3x=16
so
x=16/3
Answer:
Explanation:
The distance driven is directly proportional to the time:
Which can also be written as:
- distance₁ / time₁ = distance₂ / time₂
Here you have:
- time₁ = 1 + 2/3 hours = (3 + 2) / 3 hours = 5/3 hours
With that you can set up a proportion:
- 75 miles / (5/3) hour = x₂ / 1 hour
Solving for x₂ you get:
- x₂ = [75 miles] × 1 hour / (5/3 hour) = 3 × 75 / 5 miles = 45 miles
