X = the number of months the tire was used
y = the thickness of the tire tread
y = -(3/7)x + 20
Substitute x for 20 (the number of months the tire was used) and solve for y.
The next question: Substitute x for 49 (the number of months the tire was used) and solve for y.
Let
x-------> Leila 's profit
y------> Jo's profit
we know that
----------> equation 
For 
<u>Find the value of x</u>
Substitute the value of y in the equation 



therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
Leila make
in profit
we know that


To find how long are
sections placed end to end
Multiply the number of sections by the length of one section
so


therefore
<u>the answer is</u>

Answer:
x^2 -4x +2 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The other root is the conjugate of the given one, so is 2-√2. The quadratic equation in factored form is then ...
(x -2-√2)(x -2+√2) = 0
Expanding this, we get ...
(x -2)^2 -(√2)^2 = 0
x^2 -4x +4 -2 = 0
x^2 -4x +2 = 0 . . . . the equation you're looking for
