It would be 5 more than half of a number.
First is to make equations for both sides.
Let x be the number of the miles.
a be the charge of the first company
b be the charge of the second
a=$35+$0.25(x), b=$40+$0.20(x) .
then a=b
Substitute the equations
$35+$0.25(x)=$40+$0.20(x)
$0.25x - $0.20x = $40 - $35
$0.05x = $5
x= $5/$0.05 , cancel out the unit.
x= 100
To justify substitute x to both the equations a and b.
a= 35 + 0.25(x)
a= 35 + 0.25(100)
a= 35 + 25
a= $60
b= 40 + 0.20(x)
b= 40 + 0.20(100)
b= 40 + 20
b= 60
a=b
60=60.
Its 78/10 = 39/5
Hope it helps :)
We can represent the width as x and the length as x+5. Then we can make the area formula A=(x)*(x+5), plug in 36 for A, and solve for x
36=x^2+5x (distribute)
0=x^2+5x-36
0=(x+9)(x-4)
So x=-9 and 4 but dimensions can't be negative so x=4
So if the width is 4, then the length is 9 (4+5)
Hope this helps :)
13 x 8 = 1048 x 10 = 800.5 x 10 x 12 = 60
SA = 104 + 104 + 80 + 60 + 60 SA = 408 cm2
