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.

Is 6+2 +4x equivalent to 6- ( 2-4x) . if not , why not ?
Xelga [282]
Well lets solve for both.
6 + 2 + 4x
Combine like terms.
8 + 4x
Now solve the other one.
6 - (2 - 4x)
Distribute.
6 - 2 + 4x
Combine like terms.
4 + 4x.
These equations are not equivalent because instead of adding two, like in the first one, the second problem is subtracting. So you get 8 + 4x and 4 + 4x. I hope this helps love! :)
