Answer:

46.2 mi is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we will follow the property of congruence of two triangles.

Here two triangles formed are triangle formed by Alba, Cray and Blare and a triangle formed by Service station, Cray and Blare.

The distance between Alba and Blare = 130 mi

The distance between Alba and Cray = 120 mi

As we know in the congruent triangles all sides are in the same ratio.

Now we apply the property of the theorem

$\frac{Distance(Alba-Cray)}{Distance(Alba-Blare)}= \frac{Distance(Cray-Service station)}{Distance(Cray-Blare)}$

$\frac{120}{130}=\frac{x}{50}$

$x=50\frac{120}{130}$

x = 46.2 mi

Use the quadratic formula to determine the exact solutions to the equation 6x^2 + 4x - 3 = 0

To solve quadratics, the most correct and effective way, in my opinion, is the quadratic formula:

$x={\frac {-b\pm {\sqrt {b^{2}-4ac}}}{2a}}.$ 

Plugging it in, we get:

 $\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{16+72} }{12} = \frac{-4\pm 2\sqrt{22}}{12} = \frac{-2\pm \sqrt{22} }{6}$

So the final answer is:

$\frac{ \sqrt{22}-2 }{6}$ and $\frac{-2- \sqrt{22} }{6}$
