Answer:

440 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rental company charges for rent a truck = $75 per day

and the charges per mile = 20 cents

100 cents = 1 dollar

20 cents =  \frac{20}{100}

               = $0.20

Michael rents a truck for 2 days.

Let Michael drove the truck in 2 days = x miles

and his bill came to $238.

the equation will be : (75 × 2) + 0.20x = 238

150 + 0.20x = 238

0.20x = 238 - 150

0.20x = 88

x =  \frac{88}{0.20}

x = 440

Michael drove the truck 440 miles in 2 days.

75(2)+.20x=238
You then solve for x by multiplying 75 by 2 to get 150. Then subtract 150 from both sides of the equation, so this is what you get .20x=88. Finally divide by .20 on both sides to get x= 440

Can someone help me 10 points
Elanso [62]

The two angles form a right triangle which is 90 degrees.

Add the two to equal 90:

3x-8 + 4x = 90

simplify:

7x-8 = 90

Add 8 to both sides:

7x = 98

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 14

To assess the precision of a laboratory scale, we measure a block known to have a mass of 1 gram. we measure the block n times a
vlada-n [284]
<span>n = 5 The formula for the confidence interval (CI) is CI = m ± z*d/sqrt(n) where CI = confidence interval m = mean z = z value in standard normal table for desired confidence n = number of samples Since we want a 95% confidence interval, we need to divide that in half to get 95/2 = 47.5 Looking up 0.475 in a standard normal table gives us a z value of 1.96 Since we want the margin of error to be ± 0.0001, we want the expression ± z*d/sqrt(n) to also be ± 0.0001. And to simplify things, we can omit the ± and use the formula 0.0001 = z*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the value z that we looked up, and get 0.0001 = 1.96*d/sqrt(n) Substitute the standard deviation that we were given and 0.0001 = 1.96*0.001/sqrt(n) 0.0001 = 0.00196/sqrt(n) Solve for n 0.0001*sqrt(n) = 0.00196 sqrt(n) = 19.6 n = 4.427188724 Since you can't have a fractional value for n, then n should be at least 5 for a 95% confidence interval that the measured mean is within 0.0001 grams of the correct mass.</span>

Why is a territory considered as a major element of a state​
dlinn [17]
Out of these four elements, Sovereignty stands accepted as the most important and exclusive element of the State. No other organisation or institution can claim sovereignty. An institution can have population, territory and government but not sovereignty. ... These are also loosely called states.
