Hello!
3 x - 40^0 = 2 x - 10^0
3 x - 1 = 2 x - 1
3 x = 2x
3 x - 2 x = 0
Hence, the answer is 0
I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
Let p and m represent the numbers of miles in the plains and mountains, respectively.
.. p + m = 300 . . . . . . . the whole trip was 300 miles
time = distance/speed, so the trip time can be written as
.. p/90 + m/37.5 = 3 48/60
.. 5p + 12m = 1710 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 450 to put in standard form
You can solve these two equations by any of several means. The variable p can be eliminated by subtracting 5 times the first from the second.
.. (5p +12m) -5(p +m) = 1710 -5*300
.. 7m = 210
.. m = 30
30 miles of the trip was through the mountains.
216/200=%
1.08 which equals 108%
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
When you match the form
... ax² + bx + c = 0
to the equation
... 3x² + 5x + 7 = 0
it is reasonable to conclude that ...
... a = 3, b = 5, c = 7.
_____
The question presumes you are familiar with the form
... ax² +bx +c = 0
which is often used as the representation of a general quadratic equation. This lets us use a, b, and c instead of specific numbers, to talk about ways of factoring, graphing, or solving equations like this.
