Answer:

x=25

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out this equation, you need to remove 5 (which is a multiply as its multiplying by x) from the first side by dividing (divide as you do the opposite operation, divide is the opposite of multiply) it by the other.

x= 125 divided by 5

x=125/5

x=25

It's very easy, just try raising 5 to different powers until you get 125.
5^1 = 5
5^2 = 5*5 = 25
5^3 = 25*5 = 125
Ah, x is 3!

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

I'm not sure if you mean each person has a car for 2 weeks and travels 500 miles each but if so the rental cost is $2,940.

If it is just one car for all 3 people the rental cost is $980

Step-by-step explanation:

renatl cost = r

weeks = w

miles = m

the equation would be r = $240w + $1m

and if there are 3 people you mulitply the answer by 3

ASAP PLZZZ The axis of symmetry for the graph of the function f start bracket x end bracket equals one-quarter x square plus b x

Lilit [14]

Answer:

$b=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is $f(x)=\frac{1}{4}x^2+bx+10$ .

When we compare to $ax^2+bx+=0$ , we have

$a=\frac{1}{4}$ and c=10

The equation of the axis of symmetry of a vertical parabola is:

$x=-\frac{b}{2a}$

Also from the question the axis of symmetry is x=6

We substitute the values to get:

$6=-\frac{b}{2*\frac{1}{4}}$

$6=-\frac{b}{\frac{1}{2}}$

$b=-\frac{1}{2}*6$

$b=-3$
