Mia walks her dog twice a day. Her evening walk is two and a half times as far as her morning walk. At the end of the week she says she walked her dog 30 miles. How long is her morning walk?

9514 1404 393

  1 11/49 ≈ 1.224 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the length of the morning walk. Then the length of the evening walk is 2.5m, and the total each day is m+2.5m = 3.5m.

The total for 7 days is ...

  7(3.5m) = 30

  m = 30/24.5 = 60/49 ≈ 1.224 . . . . miles

Mia's morning walks are 1 11/49 miles, about 1.224 miles.

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'.
