Factor out the common term; 3
(3(x + 1))^2 = 36
Use the Multiplication Distributive Property; (xy)^a = x^ay^a
3^2(x + 1)^2 = 36
Simplify 3^2 to 9
9(x + 1)^2 = 36
Divide both sides by 9
(x + 1)^2 = 36/9
Simplify 36/9 to 4
(x + 1)^2 = 4
Take the square root of both sides
x + 1 = √4
Since 2 * 2 = 4, the square root of 2 is 2
x + 1 = 2
Break down the problem into these 2 equations
x + 1 = 2
x + 1 = -2
Solve the first equation; x + 1 = 2
x = 1
Solve the second equation; x + 1 = -2
x = -3
Collect all solutions;
<u>x = 1, -3</u>
Answer:
0.67
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3= to 0.66 which means 0.67 would be technally larger than 0.66
To find the slope and the -intercept of the line, first write the function as an equation, by substituting for
y=10
y=0x+10
y=0x+10 , m=0
y=0x+10 , m=0 , b=10
m=0 , b=10
The slope of the line is m=0 and the y-intercept is b=10
Answer:
The rental cost for Company A and Company B will be the same after 500 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost of renting a truck from Company A can be expressed as;
Total rental cost(Company A)=Cost per day+Total rate
where;
Cost per day=70
Total rate=rate per mile×number of miles (m)=(0.5×m)=0.5 m
replacing;
Total rental cost(Company A)=70+0.5 m...equation 1
2. The total cost of renting a truck from Company B can be expressed as;
Total rental cost(Company B)=Cost per day+Total rate
where;
Cost per day=20
Total rate=rate per mile×number of miles (m)=(0.6×m)=0.6 m
replacing;
Total rental cost(Company B)=20+0.6 m...equation 2
Equating equation 1 to equation 2
70+0.5 m=20+0.6 m
0.6 m-0.5 m=70-20
0.1 m=50
m=50/0.1
m=500 miles
The rental cost for Company A and Company B will be the same after 500 miles
