a sailfish can swim up to 1 mile per hour less than one fifth the top speed of a peregrine falcon. Find the top speed that a sailfish can swim?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

top speed of a peregrine falcon is 240 miles per hour

240 x 1/5 = 48

48-1 = 47

sailfish can swim 47 miles per hour

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer: The top speed that a sailfish can swim at $((x)/(5)-1)\ mph$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Top speed of a peregrine falcon be 'x'.

One fifth the top speed of a peregrine falcon would be

$(1)/(5)x$

1 mile per hour less than the above is expressed as

$(1)/(5)x-1$

According to question, the top speed that a sailfish can swim would be

$(1)/(5)x-1$

Hence, the top speed that a sailfish can swim at $((x)/(5)-1)\ mph$

7y-2y+4+3y=-20
please show your work

Answers

7y-2y+4+3y=-20

First, you want to combine your 'y' Values.

7y-2y+3y
So subtract 7-2 then add 3. It equals 8
So your final 'y' value Is 8y.

So your new problem is...8y+4=-20

Now you get the 'y' alone and the first step to that is to subtract the 4 on BOTH sides.

8y+4=-20
-4 -4

Now your problem is 8y=-24

Step two to getting the 'y' alone is to divide by 8. So...

8y=-24
/8 /8

y=-3

So there you go. Hope I helped.
