12x > 9(2x-3) -21
12x > 18x - 27 - 21
12x > 18x - 48 (add 48 and subtract 12x in both sides)
48 > 6x
8 > x the end.
Answer:
The difference in per-mile costs for the two companies is $0.12
Step-by-step explanation:
Gabi sets up the equation
to find out after how many miles, m, the companies will charge the same amount.
The first company charges
for m miles driven.
The second company charges
for m miles driven.
In both these functions, numbers 7.20 and 8,40 represent the initial fee the companies charge.
Numbers 0.22 and 0.1 represent per-mile costs.
Thus, the difference in per-mile costs is 
Another way to solve this problem is to find the cost per mile driven for each company:
1. Cost per-mile 1st company

2. Cost per-mile 2nd company

3. Difference:

A quadratic equation has the standard form:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
in the given equation,
a = 3
b = -10
c = 5
plug these values into the quadratic formula.
(-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)
(-(-10) +/- sqrt((-10)^2 - 4(3)(5)) / (2*3)
(10 +/- sqrt(100 - 60)) / (6)
(10 +/- sqrt(40)) /6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x3 − 5x2 + 25
2x³ -5x²+25
2x³ -5(x²-5)
I hope this helps ( there is no negatives )
