Which sentence explains the correct first step in the solution of this equation? 4(x−3)=9

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Distribute this, : 4(x-3)=9 to get 4x-12=9

Answer 2
Answer: 4 times what equals 9. Well let's do this backwards. 9/4 equals 2.25 or 2 1/4 and 2 1/4 + 3 = 5 1/4. x=5 1/4. 4(5 1/4 - 3) = 9. Hoped I helped!

you ride your bike X miles per hour up a mountain for 45 minutes on the way down the mountain you ride your bike for 4 miles per hour fasterit takes 20 minutes to ride your bike down the mountain how far did you ride your bike in total

Answers

you ride your bike X miles per hour up a mountain for 45 minutes on the way

We convert minutes into hour because speed is in miles per hour

To convert minutes into hour we divide by 60

45 minutes =(45)/(60)=0.75 hours

it takes 20 minutes to ride your bike down the mountain

20 minutes =(20)/(60)=0.33 hours

you ride your bike X miles per hour up a mountain

Distance = speed * time taken

distance covered while riding bike up a mountain is

D = x *0.75

on the way down the mountain you ride your bike for 4 miles per hour faster

So time taken is x + 4

distance covered while riding bike up a mountain is

D =  (x+4) * 0.33

Distance covered by climbing up and down the mountain are same

so we make the distance equation equal

x *0.75=  (x+4) * 0.33

0.75x = 0.33x + 1.32

Subtract 0.33 from both sides

0.42x = 1.32

Divide both sides by 0.42

x = 3.1429  miles per hour

Distance covered up D = 0.75* x = 0.75 * 3.1429 = 2.357175

Distance covered down D = (3.1429 +4) * 0.33 =  2.357157

Total distance covered = 2.357175 + 2.357175 = 4.71435

you ride your bike in total of 4.71 miles approximately .



Answer:

The total distance covered during riding up and down the mountain is 4.714 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the bike while riding  up mountain = X mile/hour

Distance covered be d.

Time taken to cover d distance = 45 minutes = 0.75 hour

(1 hour = 60 min)

Speed=(Distance)/(time)

X miles/hour=(d)/(0.75 hour)

X miles=(d)/(0.75)...(1)

Speed of the bike while riding  down mountain = (X+4) mile/hour

Distance covered while moving down the mountain = d.

Time taken to cover d distance = 20 minutes = 0.33 hour

(X+4)miles/hour=(d)/(0.33 hour)

(X+4) miles=(d)/(0.33)

0.33X+1.32=d...(2)

O solving (1) and (2):

we get, d = 2.357 miles

X = 3.143 miles/hour

Total distance covered by us = d + d= 2.357 miles+ 2.357 miles = 4.714 miles

What ratio doesn't belong 4/10 2/5 3/5 6/15

Answers

3/5 does nor belong, as the other three fractions are just different versions of the same fraction :) 4/10 can be simplified into 2/5. If you multiply this fraction by three, 2/5 would become 6/15 Hope this helped!

The floor of a canyon has an elevation of −14.5feet. Erosion causes the elevation to change by −1.5 feet per year. How many years will it take for the canyon floor to have an elevation of −31

Answers

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of years

y: elevation in feet

Then, we write the equation that models the problem.

We have then:

Then. for an elevation of -31 feet we have:

From here, we clear the number of years.

We have then:

Answer:

It will take for the floor to have an elevation of -31 about 11 years.

11 years 

work:

-31-14.5=-16.5

16.5/1.5= 11

11 is the answer
