Answer the following questions using what you've learned from this unit. Write your answers in the space provided. Be sure to show all work.

1. Solve the equation.
5(x - 4) + 3x - 9x = 6 - (2x + 5) + 8x

Step 1: Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses. (2 points)

Step 2: Collect any like terms on both sides of the equation. (2 points)

Step 3: Bring all variable terms to one side of the equation. (Hint: Add x to both sides.) (2 points)

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 4) + 3x - 9x = 6 - (2x + 5) + 8x

(remove parentheses)

5x-20+3x-9x=6-2x-5+8x

(collect like terms and calculate)

-x-20=1+6x

(move the terms)

-x-6x=1+20

(collect like terms and calculate)

-7x=21

(divide both sides)

x=-3

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
