Answer:
4th option
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 2x - 3 = 0 ( add 3 to both sides )
x² - 2x = 3
using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 1)x + 1 = 3 + 1
(x - 1)² = 4
Peter's account is 910-40x, and Marla's account is 470-2x. This is a system, so you must find the number that makes both equations end up with the same number. Basically trial and error. Here is what I did:
Let's try the number 10. 910-400=510 and 470-20=450. I need a higher number.
Let's try 13 next. 910-520=390 and 470-26=444. Now the number has to be lower.
Let's try 12. 910-480=430 and 470-24=446. Close, and a little lower.
11.5 is too low, and 11.7 is too high. 11.6 has Equation 1 at 446 and Equation 2 at 446.8. Very close!
It is somewhere around 11.6. I hope that this can give you a start in figuring it out, because I don't believe in giving the complete answer, because then you do not learn anything from it.
Answer:
m = 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
In a standard equation of y = mx + b, m is the slope. In this situation, the slope is the price paid per mile.
To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁). I will use the points (3, 8.25) & (11, 26.25)
Plug in these values:
(26.25 - 8.25) / (11 - 3)
Simplify the parentheses.
= (18) / (8)
Simplify the fraction.
18/8
= 9/4
This is your slope.
In a dollar value, it is 9/4 of a dollar, or $2.25 per mile.
The answer to this equation would be k=2
Yea I have no proof to do that much cause
