Answer: x=2
Step-by-step explanation:Algebraically solve this equation. First subtract x from 2x which gets you just x. then subract 3 from 4 which gets you 1. Then subract 1 from 3 which gets you to the equation x=2. You can plug it in and check
2(2)-3-2+4=3 which is 4-3-2+4=3 which is -1+4=3 which is 3=3 which is correct.
Hope this helps :)
6/6 is not correct 88/88 jeo
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the distance driven, d-distance and C our constant.
Our information can be presented as:
#Subtracting equation 2 from 1:
Hence the fixed cost per mile driven,
is $0.20
To find the constant,
we substitute in any of the equations:
Now, substituting our values in the linear equation:
#y=cost of driving, x=distance driven
Hence the linear equation for the cost of driving is y+0.2x+284

This is an area problem. The key words are 120 square feet and 12 feet longer.
And of course width is a key word when you are reading this.
Formula
Area = L * W
Givens
W = W
L = W + 12
Substitute and Solve
Area = L* W
120 = W*(W + 12)
W^2 + 12W = 120 square feet
w^2 + 12w - 120 = 0
This does not factor easily. I would have thought that a graph might help but not if the dimension has to be to the nearest 1/100 of a foot. The only thing we can do is use the quadratic formula.
a = 1
b = 12
c = - 120
w = [ -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ]/(2a)
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(12^2 - 4*(1)(-120)] / 2*1
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(144 - (-480)]/2
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(624)] / 2
w = [- 12 +/- 24.979992] / 2 The minus root has no meaning whatever.
w = (12.979992) / 2
w = 6.489995 I'll round all this when I get done
L = w + 12
L = 6.489995 + 12
L = 18.489995
check
Area = L * W
Area = 6.489995*18.489995
Area = 119.999935 The difference is a rounding error
Answer
L = 18.489995 = 18.49 feet
W = 6.489995 = 6.49 feet
Note: in the check if you round first to the answer, LW = 120.0001 when you find the area for the check. Kind of strange how that nearest 1/100th makes a difference.
