Trisha's favourite song is 2 1/2 minutes. There is a drum solo that begins one third of the way into the song and last for 24 seconds. How many seconds does the drum solo end

Step-by-step explanation:

The drum solo begins a third of the way into the song which lasts 2.5 minutes.

The drum solo therefore starts at:

= 2.5 * 1/3

= 0.83 minutes

Translate that to seconds by multiplying by 60:

= 0.83 * 60

= 50 seconds

Solo begins at 50 seconds in and lasts for 24 seconds:

= 50 + 24

= 74 seconds or

= 1 minute 14 seconds

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
