Answer: x = $25.89

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a two step problem.  First we need to determine the number of gallons the car uses to drive the 250 miles:

250/28 ≈ 8.93 gallons

Then we just multiply the number of gallons by the price:

8.93 x 2.90 = $25.90

Alternate solution:  Use a proportion.  Since 1 gallon costs $2.90 and produces 28 miles, we can set up the following proportion:

2.90/28 = x/250

Cross-multiply and solve:

28x = 725

x = $25.89 (There is a one cent difference due to a rounding error in the first solution.  This solution avoids that error.)

The x’s represent just the people, and because the bottom line only represents time it doesn’t affect the amount of people.

The story problem is very straightforward. Normally, you need to read the problem and understand it.

Let's look at the question again.

Although we do not have all the quantities, we can still show how to solve the problem.

Let x be the total  number of flowers.

There are 4 vases.

Therefore, the number of flowers in each vase will be:

x/4

Flow the same rule for similar problems.

Answer:

x= -8     x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +6x - 6 = 10

Subtract 10 from each side

x^2 +6x -16 =0

Factor  what 2 numbers multiply to -16 and add to 6

8*-2 = -16

8-2 = 6

(x+8) (x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x+8 =0    x-2 =0

x= -8     x=2
