Answer:

The original duration of the tour  is 18 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

the number of days spent be T

Daily expenses be D

Initially ,

total tour expenses was 360

D \times T=360

D = \frac{360}{T}-------------(1)

If he extends his tour for 4 days, he has to cut down his daily expenses by dollar 3

(D + 4) \cdot(T -3) = 360---------------(2)

Expanding the eqaution(2)

DT-3D + 4T -12 = 360

Substituting the value of D

(\frac{360}{T})T -3( \frac{360}{T}) + 4T -12 = 360

(\frac{360}{T})T -3( \frac{360}{T}) + 4T= 360 + 12

(\frac{360}{T})T -3( \frac{360}{T}) + 4T= 372

360 - ( \frac{1080}{T}) + 4T= 372

( \frac{1080}{T}) + 4T= 372 - 360

( \frac{1080}{T}) + 4T= 12

1080 + 4T^2= 12T

Solving the quadratic equation we get

T = 18  and T = -15

T is the number of gays and it cannot be negative , hence T is 18

Substituting in equation (1) we get

D = \frac{360}{18}

D =  20

3x + x + x + x − 3 − 2 = 7 + x + x In the equation above, what is the value of x? A) −5 7 B) 1 C) 12 7 D) 3
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + x + x + x − 3 − 2 = 7 + x + x

Combine like terms

6x -5 = 7+2x

subtract 2x from each side

6x-2x -5 = 7+2x-2x

4x -5 = 7

Add 5 to each side

4x-5 +5 = 7+5

4x =12

Divide by 4

4x/4 =12/4

x=3

Solve 2x2 + 12x − 14 = 0 by completing the square, options: A. 2(x + 6)2 = 26; x = −6 + square root 13, x = −6 − square root 13
musickatia [10]
I just solved this one
anothe way is undistribute the 2 first and move -14 to side
2(x^2+6x)-14=0
comlete the squer inside and add negative
2(x^2+6x+9-9)-14=0
factor perfect square
2((x+3)^2-9)-14=0
distribute
2(x+3)^2-18-14=0
2(x+3)^2-32=0
add 32 both sides
2(x+3)^2=32
divide 2
(x+3)^2=16
sqrt both sides
x+3=+/-4
minus 3
x=-4-3 or 4-3
x=1 or -7

answer is C
