Yep! 7x2=14-15= -1 // answer is a
So,
We are trying to figure out when Grandpa Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
Let x represent the number of years before/after when G. Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
66 + x = 2(37 + x)
Distribute.
66 + x = 74 + 2x
Subtract x from both sides.
66 = 74 + x
Subtract 74 from both sides.
-8 = x
So 8 years ago, G. Lopez was twice as old as Dad. Let's check that.
66 - 8 = 58
37 = 8 = 29
29 * 2 = 58
58 = 58
It checks.
Grant needs to ride at least 13.33 miles to male at least $ 15.00 a day
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that Grant has an agreement with Brian to rent the bike for $35.00 a night
He charges customers $3.75 for every mile he transports them
Grant needs to make at least $15.00 a day
To find: miles needed to ride
From given question, He charges customers $3.75 for every mile he transports them
So if he transports for "x" miles he would get,

So the profit he gets is $ 3.75 and initial cost invested to rent bike is $ 35. Also, Grant needs to make at least $15.00 a day
So we can frame a inequality as:

So he needs to ride atleast 13.33 miles to male atleast $ 15.00 a day
Is there a specific question?
Pemdas is usually the general order to solving exponential equations.
(P) Parenthesis, as in simplify what is inside a parenthesis first.
(E) Exponents
(M) Multiplication
(D) Division
(A) Addition
(S) Subtraction, Subtraction would occur last.
