d = days rented for
m = miles driven for
so the cost of the car is 35 bucks a day and 45 cents or $0.45 per mile driven, let's check it out for say a few days
1st day, 3 miles......................35(1) + 0.45(3)
2nd day, 2 miles..................35(2) + 0.45(2)
3rd day, say 5 miles............35(3) + 0.45(5)
dth day, and m miles..........35d + 0.45m
so the cost function could be written as C = 35d+0.45m.
now, we know for 2 days, d = 2, it cost 166.75 bucks, so
-24 would be on the far right and then -4 would be closer to zero
Hello!
You first find out how many objects there are in total
4 + 9 + 3 = 16
Then you find the probability of Liliana picking a orange
Since there are 4 oranges and 16 things to pick she has a 4/16 chance of getting an orange
Next you find the probability of Liliana picking a pear
There are 3 pears and 16 items to pick so she has a 3/16 chance
Then you add them together to find the chance of either happening
4/16 + 3/16 = 7/16
So she has a 7 out of 16 chance of getting an orange or a pear
The answer is 7/16
Hope this helps!
I am going to explain this using the substitution method, considering it appears to be the best in this situation.
We know (from the bottom equation) that y can equal 3x+20. Using this knowledge, we substitute the y in the top equation for 3x+20. Now, we have an equation that looks like this:
3x+20=x^2+2x
Now we need to move x to one side and then do some radicals (square roots).
Subtract the 2x on the right (since it is smaller, negatives = NONONO), which will give you
x+20=x^2
Now, we take the square root of both sides to get
rad(x+20)=x
Now we have to simplify. 20 doesn't have a square root, but 4 goes into 20, and 4 has a square root of 2. This now becomes
2rad(x+5)
This doesn't simplify any further... we have a problem... no way to isolate x as far as my knowledge goes... Sorry, can't help you any further than that, but another person or your teacher might be able to. R.I.P...
