This problem can be solved using two equations:
The first represents the total trip, which is the miles driven in the morning added to those in the afternoon. Let's call the hours driven in the morning X and the hours driven in the afternoon Y. We get: X + Y = 248.
The second equation relates the miles driven in the morning compared to the afternoon. Since 70 fewer miles were driven in the morning than the afternoon, then X = Y - 70.
Now substitute the equation for morning hours (equation 2) into the total miles equation (equation 1). We get:
(Y - 70) + Y = 248
2Y - 70 = 248
2Y = 318
Y = 159
We know that Winston drove 159 miles in the afternoon.
To find the morning hours, just substitute 159 into the equation for morning hours (equation 2)
X = 159 - 70
X = 89
We now know that Winston drove 89 miles in the morning.
We can check our work by plugging both distances into the total distance equation: 89 + 159 = 248
Answer:
C. 50
Step-by-step explanation:
180 - (70 + 60)
180 - 130
50, so C

Let's say g(x) = x^4 => f(g)(x) = 4*( x^4) +1.
Answer:95.75
Step-by-step explanation:
13x + 4y = 487
13*8 + 4y = 487
4y = 487 - 13*8
y = (487 - 13*8)/4
y = dollars per tree = 95.75
