Answer:

A. 5x^2 − 2x − 24 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

height = 5b-2

b =x

We can rewrite the height as

h = 5x-2

We know the formula for area of a triangle

A = 1/2 bh

A =1/2 x * (5x-2)

Distributing the x

A=    1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

We know A =12

12 = 1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

Multiply each side by 2

12*2 = 2*1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

24 = 5x^2 - 2x

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

0 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

Your mom's new car gets 32 miles per gallon and gasoline costs $1.99 per gallon. You are going to see Uncle buck for Christmas,
Mashcka [7]

The gas cost will be $19.53 for this trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance covered by car per gallon = 32 miles

Cost of one gallon = $1.99

Unit rate in terms of miles;

32 miles = $1.99

1 mile = \frac{1.99}{32}\ Dollars

Therefore,

314 miles = Unit rate of mile * 314 miles

314 miles = \frac{1.99}{32}*314

314\ miles = \frac{624.86}{32}\\\\314\ miles=\$19.526

Rounding off to nearest hundredth;

314 miles = $19.53

The gas cost will be $19.53 for this trip.
