Cross multiply:-
3(b - 2) = (2b - 5)(b + 2)
3b - 6 = 2b^2 + 4b - 5b - 10
2b^2 - 4b - 4 = 0
b^2 - 2b - 2 = 0
b = 2.73, -0.73 Answer
<em>Answer:</em>
( B ) x = 6.5
<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
We know that all the angles of a triangle equal 180 when added together. So lets make an equation for this question.
(10x-10) + (10x+8) + 8x = 180
I just took all the angles and added them together to make 180. Now solve for x.
10x - 10 + 10x + 8 + 8x = 180 <em>(combined like terms)</em>
28x -2 = 180 <em>(added 2 to both sides)</em>
28x = 182 <em>(divided both sides by 28)</em>
x = 6.5
Answer:
x + 65 <u>< </u>108
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of miles Erma can drive, you will write and equation and solve it to find the amount of miles that can be driven on $600 over the 1600 miles that are allowed.
Daily rate + cost per mile over 1600 = total cost
(65 x 8) + 0.24m = 600
520 + 0.24m = 600
-520 -520
<u>0.24m </u>= <u>80</u>
0.24 0.24
m = 333.33... miles
The maximum number of whole miles she can drive would be 1933 miles (1600 + 333).
