Considering that you are planning the trip with limited budget and only for 4 days (=96h) you must value both time and money when doing it.

If you use the bus you spend $75 + $75=$150 and 12h + 12h = 24h. This means you spend $150 to enjoy 96h - 24h = 72h of actually camping. This means you pay $150/72h = $2,08 per hour of actual camping.

On the other hand if you choose the plane you spend $150 + $ 150 = $300 and 1,5h + 1,5h = 3h. This means you spend $300 to enjoy 96h - 3h = 93h. This means you pay $300/93h = $3,22 per hour of actual camping.

Considering all that, taking the bus his the most cost-effective option (and the cheaper one also).

Write the equation of the line graphed below.
posledela

Answer:

y=2x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope hits the points (-1,2) and (0,2). If you count how many units are right and up, then that's your slope. In this case, the distance between those two points are 1 right and 2 up which is the same thing as 2. The y-intercept is 3 since the slope crosses the y-axis there.

The length of a rectangular garden is 4 less than twice the width find the perimeter and area of the garden
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Let w be the width. Then the length is 2w-4. So:

w(2w-4)=96

2w²-4w-96=0

w²-2w-48=0

(w-8)(w+6)=0

w=8 or -6

Throwing out the negative value for w, we get a width of 8 yds, and a length of 12 yds. ☺☺☺☺

The area in square feet of a rectangular field is x^2-100x+2400. The width, in feet is x-40. What is the length, in feet?
sattari [20]

Answer:

x-60

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to factor out the quadratic.

You know that one of the factors is x-40.

To factor:

Find a number that when added to -40, gives you -100, and also when multiplied, gives you 2400.

That such number is -60.

Add an x before it, and you get (x-60)

(9+6+14)/8 + x = 9/2

29/8 +x = 9/2

x= 9/2 - 29/8

x= (36-29)/8

x=7/8
