Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Equation to represent the daily rental cost for each type of truck can be written as follows:

Daily rental cost for Trucks-A-Lot = 42 + 0.72m

Daily rental cost for Move-in-Truckers = 70 + 0.12m

Where, m = Emily's mileage

To determine the number of miles for which the truck cost the same amount, set both equations equal to each other and solve for m.

42 + 0.72m = 70 + 0.12m

Collect like terms

0.72m - 0.12m = 70 - 42

0.6m = 28

Divide both sides by 0.6

\frac{0.6m}{0.6} = \frac{28}{0.6}

m = 46.7

At approximately 47 miles, both trucks would cost the same amount.

Check:

Daily rental cost for Trucks-A-Lot = 42 + 0.72m

Plug in the value of x = 47

= 42 + 0.72(47) = $75.84 ≈ $76

Daily rental cost for Move-in-Truckers = 70 + 0.12m

Plug in the value of x = 47

= 70 + 0.12(47) = $75.64 ≈ $76

If u answer ill give brainlist

Answer:

120; 643 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter: Add all the sides, so 120 units

_________________________________

Area: First multiply 19 by 24 for the first shape within this other shape, so That equals 456 units squared. Since we know that one whole side is 36 we can subtract 19 from it to get the lower side of the smaller shape and then multiply that by 11. So the smaller side ends up being 17. So 17 times 11 equals: 187 units squared. Then just add the areas together 187+456=643 units squared.

Answer:

x = -6  x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2+9x+18

Set equal to 0 to find the zeros

0 = x^2+9x+18

Factor, what numbers multiply to 18 and add to 9

6*3 =18

6+3=9

0= (x+6) (x+3)

Using the zero product property

x+6 =0   x+3 =0

x = -6  x= -3

On Thursday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 327 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold
jeka94

Answer:

The number of hamburgers is 109.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = number of hamburgers

Let c = number of cheeseburgers

The total number sold gives us the equation below.

h + c = 327

"The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold.

This gives us the equation

c = 2h

Now we substitute c with 2h in the first equation and solve for h.

h + 2h = 327

3h = 327

h = 109

The number of hamburgers is 109.

Find the slope between these two points:<br><br><br><br> (4,2) and (10,5)
mart [117]

Answer:

Slope is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula = m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Point = (4,2) and (10,5)

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

m = 5 - 2/10 - 4

m = 3/6

m = 1/2
