Answer: It needs 2.4 hours to complete the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of Oregon trail = 2.197 miles

Speed at which it travel = 20 miles per day

we need to find the time taken by it ,

As we know that

Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}

Time=\frac{2.197}{20}\\\\Time=0.10\text{ days}

So,

it will be changed into hours

1\text{ day}=24\text{ hours}\\\\0.1\text{ day}=24\times 0.1=2.4\text{ hours}

so, it needs 2.4 hours to complete the trip.

Given the function f(x) = 3|x – 2| + 6, for what values of x is f(x) = 18?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

x = - 2, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = 18 we require to solve

3 | x - 2 | + 6 = 18 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3 | x - 2 | = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

| x - 2 | = 4

The absolute value function always returns a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, thus

x - 2 = 4 ( add 2 to both sides )

x = 6

OR

- (x - 2) = 4

- x + 2 = 4 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- x = 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 2

As a check substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions

x = 6 → 3|6 - 2| + 6 = 3|4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

x = - 2 → 3|- 2 - 2| + 6 = 3|-4| + 6 = 3(4) + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 ← True

Hence solutions are x = - 2, x = 6

Roland's Boat Tours sells deluxe and economy seats for each tour it conducts. In order to complete a tour, at least 14 economy s
leonid [27]
The maximum profit would be $1325. Since they make less profit on deluxe seats, you want to get as few of those as possible. You also want to get as many people on the boat as possible, which is 45. The minimum number of deluxe seats you could sell is 5, so that's what we'll use for the max. profit. They make $25 off of each of those seats so 5 times $25 is $125. That leaves 40 economy seats, with a profit of $30 per seat. You have 40 spots left open, so we'll sell 40 economy seats, which will meet your minimum of 14 economy seats. 40 times $30 is $1200. Add $125 and $1200 to get $1325 and you have your maximum profit!
