Matthew Travels 42/50 Meters In 26/30 Minutes. Find The Speed of Mathew In Meters Per Second.

Matthew travels 0.0161 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Matthew travels 42/50 meters In 26/30 minutes, to find the speed of Mathew in meters per second the following calculation must be performed:

42/50 = 0.84

26/30 = 0.86

0.86 x 60 = 52

0.84 meters in 52 seconds

0.84 / 52 = 0.01615

Therefore, Matthew travels 0.0161 meters per second.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
