Answer:

20 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be number of miles.

Laguana's Truck Rentals charges $20 plus $2 per mile.

Total cost of Laguana's Truck = 20+2m         .... (1)

Salvatori's truck rentals charges $3 per mile.  

Total cost of Salvatori's truck = 3m          ... (2)

We need to find the number of hours after that the total cost for both companies will be the same.

3m=20+2m

3m-2m=20

m=20

Therefore, after 20 miles the total cost for both companies will be the same.

Point M is the midpoint of LN. LM = 7x - 12 and MN = 3x + 16. Find LM.
likoan [24]
Since point M is the midpoint of LN, LM and MN are equivalent in length.

7x - 12 = 3x + 16 (LM=MN)

7x = 3x + 28

4x = 28

x = 7

Now that we know the value of x, we can find the value of LM by plugging the value in the equation.

LM = 7(7) - 12

LM = 49 - 12

LM = 37

What is the reason for each step in the solution of the inequality?<br><br> −2(x+3)−4&gt;4x+30
DochEvi [55]
You would have to first distribute the -2 to the x+3 which gives you -2x-6.  Then you would subtract the 4 which gives you -2x-10 on the left side.  Now you have the equation -2x-10>4x+30.  Move the 4x to the other side giving you         -6x-10>30.  Now add the 10 from the other side which leaves you with -6x>40.  Now remember when you divide by a negative in an inequality, you HAVE TO flip the sign giving you the answer of x<-20/3.

3(9z+4) &gt; 35z - 4<br> What is z
attashe74 [19]

3(9z+4) > 35z - 4

27z + 12 > 35z - 4

12 + 4 > 35z - 27z

16 > 8z

\frac{16}{8}  > z

2 > z

How do you solve this equation?
Ivenika [448]
To solve this question, what you would need to do is add 30 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 9, to find the solution.

You can check if it is correct by substituting the same value back into the original equation and seeing if the left hand side is equal to the right hand side.

Convert the polar equation r = 2 costheta in Cartesian equation form.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

To transform from polar coordinates  into Cartesian coordinates  we have:

x = r x cos(theta)

y = r x sin(theta)

r^2 = x^2 + y^2

=>   r = 2*cos(theta)

<=> r = 2*(x/r)

<=> 2x = r^2

<=> 2x  = x^2 + y^2

Hope this helps!

:)
