The answer you're looking for is A
1/10 of 1,700,000 km² is 170,000 km² .
Answer:
200 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
First, set up the equations.
plan 1: initial fee of $55.96, $0.12 per mile
plan 2: initial fee of $63.96, $0.08 per mile
We want to know at what distance will the cost be the same. So, set the equations equal to each other.
0.12x + 55.96 = 0.08x + 63.96
Combine the variables.
0.04x + 55.96 = 63.96
Combine the constants.
0.04x = 8
Divide by 0.04 to isolate x.
x = 200 miles
Check by plugging x back into each equation.
y = 0.12(200) + 55.96
y = 24 + 55.96
y = $79.96
y = 0.08(200) + 63.96
y = 16 + 63.96
y = $79.96
You are correct!
Hi! I know for sure that a and d are equivalent to the expression which is not what you are looking for. This is because 11 times 8 gives you the 88 on a and if you multiply the 5 also by 8 you get 40 so a is not the answer. The reason I multiply both by the same number and got the equivalency is because, "What you do to one side, you do to the other." Same thing with d. My answer would be B because you can't change the variable to a different number. You can't just give the five the y and make it mean the same. The answer is B.
