S is the midpoint of RT. If RS = 6x + 2 and RT = 10x + 14, write the equation you would use to solve for x.

To solve for x, we set the two equations equal to each other

6x+2 = 10x+14 We will use inverse operations

2 = 4x+14.

-12 = 4x

x= -3

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
