Rewind the "mind movie" of what happened. She added $74 to her account and then had $192. Back it up by subtracting the $74 from $192.
192 - 74 = 118
Answer:

b = - 6
c = 13
Answer:
(b) 2.175 miles to 2.185 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
When a value is rounded, the original "exact" value is presumed to be within 1/2 of the value of one least-significant unit of the rounded number.
<h3>Application</h3>
A rounded value of 2.18 has a least-significant digit with a place value of 0.01 units. Half that value is the "margin of error". That is, the range of numbers that would be rounded to 2.18 is ...
2.18-0.005 ≤ x < 2.18+0.005
2.175 ≤ x < 2.185 . . . . miles
Since the √3 is about 1.73, it would fit best on the first line.
The correct answer is C: 1/(x + 4)(x - 5)
Why? Well, let's first simplify x^2 - 3x - 10 and x^2 + x - 12; the two denominators. Each of these should become an (x +/- number), and to figure out the number, as well as whether it is positive or negative, we can do a simple trick
Look at the factors of the right number (In this case, -10 and -12)
-10 -12
1 * -10 1 * -12
-1 * 10 -1 * 12
-2 * 5 -2 * 6
2 * -5 2 * -6
-3 * 4
4 * -3
Now for part 2
Which of these pairs add up to the middle number? One of the pairs of -10 should make -3, and likewise, one of the pairs of -12 should make 1 (when x has no number in front of it you may safely assume it is 1).
2 - 5 = -3 and 4 - 3 = 1, so we now know that the 2 fraction equations simplified is
x + 2 / (x + 2)(x - 5) * x - 3/(x -3)(x + 4)
Notice anything repeating? As long as they are apart of the same fraction, we can cross out anything that has the same x - number. Crossing out both x + 2 and x - 3, we now simply have x - 5 * x + 4. Because we crossed out both numerators, the top numbers both become 1, thus giving our answer, C.
