Answer: i think its just 1
Step-by-step explanation:
M = number of miles
m = 2.7 is plugged into the equation to get
C = 0.20*m + 2.00
C = 0.20*2.7 + 2.00
C = 0.54 + 2.00
C = 2.54
The cost is $2.54
Answer:
x = 15 or x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross- multiplying gives
(14x + 6)(17x + 5) = 9x(27x + 11) ( expanding factors )
238x² + 172x + 30 = 243x² + 99x
rearrange into standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0
5x² - 73x - 30 = 0 ← in standard form
consider the factors of the product 5 × - 30 = - 150 which sum to the coefficient of the x-term (- 73 )
the factors are - 75 and + 2
Use these factors to split the middle term
5x² - 75x + 2x - 30 = 0 ( factor by grouping )
5x(x - 15) + 2(x - 15) = 0 ← take out the factor (x - 15)
(x - 15)(5x + 2) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 15 = 0 ⇒ x = 15
5x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = -
