Answer:

275 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of miles Alan has to drive to get the same cost for tha two plans.

1 plan: total cost

55+0.50x

2 plan: total cost

0.7x

Equate them:

55+0.5x=0.7x\\ \\55=0.2x\\ \\550=2x\\ \\x=275

Answer:

275 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You can express the cost of each plan as follows:

Plan 1: 55+0.50x

Plan 2: 0.70x

x is the amount of miles driven

As you need to find the amount of miles where the two plans cost the same, you can equate them and solve for x:

55+0.50x= 0.70x

55= 0.70x-0.50x

55= 0.2x

x= 55/0.2

x= 275

Alan needs to drive 175 miles for the two plans to cost the same.

Which of the following is a non-linear equation?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

iv ; xy + x/y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A non linear equation is one in which there is no product of two different variables or the same variable

What this mean is that we have the highest polynomial power as 1 or we simply have polynomials of degree 1

Looking at the given options, we can see the product xy

What this mean is that the polynomial is of degree 2 and that makes the equation a non linear as we have a polynomial of more than 1 degree

Can anyone help me I don't know how to solve this?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Set up a proportion. 6/10 = 9/x. cross multiply so x times 6 = 6x. And 10 times 9 = 90. so 6x=90. Then 90 and 6x divided by 6. which gets you x=15. The 9 ft tall elephant will cast a 15 ft shadow.
