the easiest way is to make the fractions the same, with common denominators.
that means you have to multiply (1/4) by 2, to make it 2/8.
then you can see that she can make 3 total trips, not including driving back home.
(3a-7)^2
1. 9a^2-21a-21a+49
2. 3a(3a-7)-7(3a-7)
3. (3a-7)(3a-7)
4. Combine like terms
A.
lxl=7
x=7 x=-7 (Take two cases, one as the others side negative and the other as positive)
B.
l2xl=32
2x=32 2x=-32
x=16 x=-16
C.
lx+7l=10
x+7=10 x+7=-10
x=3 x=-17
D.
lxl=53.1
x=53.1 x=-53.1
Answer: 7.867 x 10^8
Step-by-step explanation:
(the “^8” is an exponent of 8)
7(x-2) +3x=46
7x-14+3x=46
10x-14=46
10x=60
X=6
