A equation to represent this situation is:

0.75x+7.50=0.50x+10.00

Now we have to find x.

Step 1: Subtract 0.5x from both sides.

<span><span><span><span>0.75x</span>+7.5</span>−<span>0.5x</span></span>=<span><span><span>0.5x</span>+10</span>−<span>0.5x</span></span></span><span><span><span>0.25x</span>+7.5</span>=10

</span>Step 2: Subtract 7.5 from both sides.

0.25x+7.5−7.5=10−7.50.25x=2.5

Step 3: Divide both sides by 0.25.

<span><span><span>0.25x/</span>0.25</span>=<span>2.5/<span>0.25

</span></span></span>Answer:

<span>x=<span>10</span></span>
They will cost the same after 10 rides.

Solve the system. -3x-y=10; y-4z=-13; x-4y+z=4
kvasek [131]

Answer:

  (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Many graphing calculators can solve matrix equations handily. Here, we use a combination of methods.

Use the last equation to write an expression for z.

  z = 4 -x +4y

Substitute this into the second equation:

  y -4(4 -x +4y) = -13

  y -16 +4x -16y = -13

  4x -15y -3 = 0

In genera form, the first equation can be written as ...

  3x +y +10 = 0

Now, the solution to these two equations can be found to be ...

  x = (-15(10) -1(-3))/(4(1) -3(-15)) = (-150 +3)/(4+45) = -3 . . . using "Cramer's rule"

  y = -(10 +3x) = -(10 -9) = -1 . . . . from the first equation

  z = 4 -(-3) +4(-1) = 3 . . . . . . . . from our equation for z

The solution to the system is (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Written as an augmented matrix, the system of equations is ...

  \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}-3&-1&0&10\\0&1&-4&-13\\1&-4&1&4\end{array}\right]

If you use/make a number line, then you will see that the answer is -18 or a. When using a number line, negative = ← and positive = →.

How do u write 5.6 as a fraction in simplest form
krok68 [10]
The first answer to your question is 5 6/10 because you pronounce the decimal as six tenths. There is a simpler form of 5 6/10, it is 5 3/5. This is because you divide six by 2 and get 3 and divide 10 by two and get 5.

The function g(x) is a transformation of the quadratic parent function, f(x)=x2. What function is g(x)?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your graph of f(x)= x^2 is the parent function. What you need to know for this graph what the stretch or compression is and what the flip is. When you flip somehting over the x-axis, which is g(x), your x^2 is negative. Also, since your graph gets skinnier, the number before the x would be a whole number, with no fractions. The only answer that fulfills this is answer choice D.
