Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to set each runner's plan equal to each other because they are equal in the end. You start with 7 miles for Angelo and 4 miles for Marc.
x is a variable that is multiplied by the number of weeks it takes for both runners' distances to be equal. So multiply x by the miles increased every week.
Marc = Angelo
2x + 4 = x + 7
x = 3
In 3 weeks each runner will run 10 miles for the week.
A negative plus a positive equals a negative
just divide Atlantic/Mississippi
Answer:
x(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation: This is an important way of solving quadratic equations. The first step of factorising an expression is to 'take out' any common factors which the terms have. So if you were asked to factorise x² + x, since x goes into both terms, you would write x(x + 1)
Answer:
4 additional days.
Step-by-step explanation:
So the total charge is $575.
It costs $355 for 1 week of use of the van.
1 week is 7 days.
It costs $55 for each extra day of use of the van.
575=55d+355
d is for the unknown extra amount of days.
subtract 355 from both sides
220=55d
divide by 55 on both sides
4=d
So, the Dakotas used the van for 4 additional days. So in total the used the van for 4+7 days.
4+7=11 total days.
But the answer to the question is 4 days, because it specifically ask for additional days.
