Answer:
Step 1 Eliminate fractions by multiplying all terms by the least common denominator of all fractions.
Step 2 Simplify by combining like terms on each side of the inequality.
Step 3 Add or subtract quantities to obtain the unknown on one side and the numbers on the other.
Step 4 Divide each term of the inequality by the coefficient of the unknown. If the coefficient is positive, the inequality will remain the same. If the coefficient is negative, the inequality will be reversed.
Step 5 Check your answer.
The function represented in the table is linear.
2.8 = 2 + 0.8
*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction
0.8 = 8/10
*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:
(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5
*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:
2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5
*Now we add the fractions together:
2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5
10/5 + 4/5
*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5
(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5
*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:
answer is: 14/5
You would start with the equation:Let m=number of miles
49.98+0.12m=35.98+0.17m
Then solve for m
You would then get
49.98+0.12m=35.98+0.17m
-0.12m -0.12m
49.98=35.98+0.05m
-35.98 -35.98
14 = 0.05m
---- --------
0.05 0.05
280=m
