An athlete trains for 95 min each day for as many days as possible. Write an equation that relates the number of days d that the athlete spends training when the athlete trains for 855 min.

Question content area bottom

Enter an equation where any numbers represent numbers of minutes.

9 answers

Let d be the number of days the athlete spends training and t be the total number of minutes the athlete trains.

Since the athlete trains for 95 min each day, the total number of minutes can be expressed as:

t = 95d

We are given that the athlete trains for 855 min, so the equation becomes:

855 = 95d
Use mental math to find the solution of the equation.

15+d=19

d=?
To find the value of d, we can subtract 15 from both sides of the equation:

d = 19 - 15

Simplifying, we get:

d = 4

Therefore, the value of d is 4.
Use a table to find the solution of the equation.
7a-9=19
a=?
Let's create a table to find the solution of the equation:

| a | 7a - 9 |
|---|--------|
| 0 | -9 |
| 1 | -2 |
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 12 |
| 4 | 19 |
| 5 | 26 |

From the table, we can see that when a is equal to 4, the expression 7a - 9 becomes equal to 19. Therefore, the solution to the equation 7a - 9 = 19 is a = 4.
Use a table to find the solution of the equation. If the solution lies between two consecutive​ integers, identify those integers.
13.3=4n-3
If the solution is an​ integer, type this integer.​ Otherwise, type the two consecutive integers between which the solution lies.
Let's create a table to find the solution of the equation:

| n | 4n - 3 |
|---|--------|
| 0 | -3 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 9 |
| 4 | 13 |
| 5 | 17 |

From the table, we can see that when n is equal to 4, the expression 4n - 3 becomes equal to 13. Therefore, the solution to the equation 13.3 = 4n - 3 is n = 4. The solution is an integer.

13.3=4n-3
Let's create a table to find the solution of the equation:

| n | 4n - 3 |
|---|--------|
| 0 | -3 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 9 |
| 4 | 13 |
| 5 | 17 |

From the table, we can see that there is no integer value for n that makes the expression 4n - 3 equal to 13. However, we can observe that the expression is increasing by 4 for each successive integer value of n. Thus, the solution to the equation 13.3 = 4n - 3 lies between the integers 3 and 4.
