1.1(10 + 4.75x) = 58
10 + 4.75x = 580/11
4.75x = 470/11
4 3/4 x = 470/11
19/4x = 470/11
x = 470/11 * 4/19
= around 9 miles

If this helped, please consider making it the brainliest answer! :)

This is one of those problems that you have to work backwards ...
start with the total, and work  back to the parts that make it up.

-- The total is  $58 .

-- The tip was 10% of the total fare.   
   So 
                                          1.10 (total fare)  =  58

Divide each side by 1.1 :        Total fare    = 58/1.1 =  $52.73

Out of the total fare, $10 was the flat fee before they drove
anywhere.    So the amount for mileage was  $42.73 .

Mileage was charged at the rate of  $4.75 per mile.
So the distance was
                                       42.73 / 4.75  =  9.00 miles (rounded)

ryzh [129]

Answer: (2x+3)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at this, you know that it must look something like

(? +3)(?+3) , because they must multiply to 9. The ?s must multiply to 2x^2, the most plausible values being 2x and x, ending us up with (2x+3)(x+3)

Factor the polynomial 4x4 – 20x2 – 3x2 + 15 by grouping. What is the resulting expression?
siniylev [52]

Factoring the polynomial 4x^4-20x^2-3x^2 + 15 by grouping means separation of the polynomial in two addends, each of them consists of two addends:

4x^4-20x^2-3x^2 + 15=(4x^4-20x^2)+(-3x^2+15).

In first brackets the common factor is 4x^2, in second brackets the common factor is -3.

Then

(4x^4-20x^2)+(-3x^2+15)=4x^2(x^2-5)-3(x^2-5)=(x^2-5)(4x^2-3).

Answer: correct choice is B
