We know:
You have $750 to spend.
A limo costs $700.
They charge $0.15 per mile.

Since we want both sides to balance out, we simply put the solution (how much we have to spend) on one side of the equation, and then the rest on the other side as shown here:

$750 (balance) = $700 (how much renting the limo costs) + 0.15x (it's a decimal since it's 15 cents per mile; the x represents however many miles the limo can travel before it reaches the $750 cap (on the left side of the equation))

Basically:
$750 = $700 + $0.15x

Now, if you want to solve how many miles the limo can travel, simply subtract $700 from both sides (subtract it from the $750).
$750 - $700 = $50

The equation should now be $50 = $0.15x
Isolate x (divide $0.15 to both sides) so:
$50 ÷ $0.15 = 333

The limo can travel a maximum of 333 miles.

Hat is the equation of the quadratic function with a vertex at (2,–25) and an x-intercept at (7,0)?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

y = x² - 4x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (2, - 25), thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 25

To find a substitute (7, 0) into the equation

0 = a(7 - 2)² - 25 = a(5)² - 25 = 25a - 25 ( add 25 from both sides )

25a = 25 ( divide both sides by 25

a = 1, thus

y = (x - 2)² - 25 ← in vertex form

Expand and simplify

y = x² - 4x + 4 - 25

y = x² - 4x - 21 ← in standard form

Eli had $10, but he lost some of it. His mom doubled the money he had left. Eli wrote the expression 2(10 – k) to show how much
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Equation 1

In the story it said Eli's mom doubled the money he left, that is what the two represents. 10 is the original amount he had. -k is the money he lost.

Equation 2

20 is the the result of the original 10 being multiplied. -2k, now the 2 is still the amount that the mom doubled his amount by, and the k is how much money Eli lost.

Hope this helps!!
