Answer is 84 miles
You can use the y intercept method of solving this
Y= mx + b
Y is your total cost 55.20
M is your slope or rate of .30/1 mile
B is your intercept or starting point $30
So fill in your known numbers
55.20 = .30x + $30
Isolate x by subtracting $30 from both sides
55.20 - 30 = .30x + 30 - 30
25.20 = .30x
Now solve for x by dividing both sides by .30
25.20 / .30 = 84 miles

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:

<u>Let's consider the information given</u>:

  • rental price: $30 + $0.30/mile
  • total bill for Ken: $55.20

<u>Let's setup an equation for the cost</u>

  • set 'x' as number of miles traveled

             \hookrightarrow Cost = 30 + 0.3x

  • set that equal to the total cost or bill and solve

             30 + 0.3x = 55.2\\0.3x = 25.2\\x=84

Ken must have traveled 84 miles

<u>Answer: 84 miles</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!

Itzik 45 seconds to fill an 18 down container how long will it take to fill a 40 gallon container
Akimi4 [234]
When answering this question, I'm assuming "18 down" means 18 gallons
To find the answer, we can divide:
40/18 = 5
( This basically means that there are 5 containers in the 40 gallon container)
knowing this:
45*5 = 225
(Basically solves the time to fill 5 containers)
It will take 225 seconds

45 cm<br> 60 om<br> What is the length of the hypotenuse?<br> centimeters?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Answer:

Length of leg of triangle =  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a 45°-45°-90° triangle with hypotenuse measuring 18 cm.

Let us assume the following labeling of the diagram, as attached in the answer area.

The two angles here are equal to 45° so two sides of the triangle opposite to the equal angles will also be equal to each other i.e. it is an isosceles triangle.

i.e. The sides XY and YZ will be equal.

Let XY = YZ = x cm

It is known that in a right angled triangle, pythagorean theorem holds well.

As per pythagoream theorem:

Putting the values:

So, the length of leg of triangle =

X+3y=5<br> -2x-6y=-10<br><br> Solve using elimination
RSB [31]
Slimination
multiply first equaiton by 2
2x+6y=10
add to second equiaotn
2x-2x+6y-6y=10-10
0=0
this is true so therfor they are the same equaiton

so solve
x+3y=5
3y=-x+5
y=-1/3x+5/3

subsituter values for x and get valuse for y

if x=2 then y=1
