Answer:
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting the right side gives ...

The factor multiplying y cannot be zero, so y must be zero.
You must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Two payment options to rent a car
Let "x" be the number of miles driven in one day
<em><u>You can pay $20 a day plus 25¢ a mile (Option A)</u></em>
25 cents is equal to 0.25 dollars
OPTION A : 20 + 0.25x
<em><u>You pay $10 a day plus 50¢ a mile (Option B)</u></em>
50 cents equal to 0.50 dollars
Option B: 10 + 0.50x
<em><u>For what amount of daily miles will option A be the cheaper plan ?</u></em>
For option A to be cheaper, Option A must be less than option B
Option A < Option B

Solve the inequality
Add -0.50x on both sides

Add - 20 on both sides,



Divide both sides by 0.25

Thus you must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
← divide numerator and denominator by 4
=
= 0.8
(b)
→ divide numerator and denominator by 5
=
= 0.7
(c)
← divide numerator and denominator by 4
=
= 1.5
<h3>
Answer: 5</h3>
=================================================
Work Shown:
x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0
x^2 + 1 - 5x = 0
x^2 + 1 = 5x
(x^2 + 1)/x = 5 .... where x is nonzero
(x^2)/x + (1/x) = 5
x + (1/x) = 5

An alternative method involves solving the original equation using the quadratic formula. After you get the two roots x = p and x = q, you should be able to find that p + 1/p = 5 and also q + 1/q = 5 as well.
In this case,
p = (5 + sqrt(21))/2
q = (5 - sqrt(21))/2
