Answer:

The total route is 8 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance of the total route be x

Marta has gone for a walk and has covered three quarters of the total route so far. This means that she has covered a distance of

3/4 × x = 3x/4 kilometers

she still has 2 kilometres to walk. This means that the total route or distance = the sum of the distance that she covered already and the distance she has remaining. Therefore,

x = 3x/4 + 2

x - 3x/4 = 2

(4x - 3x) / 4 = 2

Cross multiplying

4x - 3x = 4 × 2

x = 8

The total route is 8 kilometers.

a rectangle has an area that is represented by 9x²-4. the length of the rectangle is 3x-2. what is the width?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Step-by-step explanation:

the area is

length × width

(3x - 2) × width = 9x² - 4

to find width we could do a real polynomial division or simply recognize the fact that

(a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

and we see that in our area calculation we are missing the (a + b) factor.

so, width = (3x + 2)

but if you want the division :

9x² - 4 : 3x - 2 = 3x + 2

- 9x² - 6x

-----------------

0 6x - 4

- 6x - 4

----------------------

0 0

again, width = (3x + 2)

Car rentals involve a $130 flat fee and an additional cost of $31.67 a day what is the maximum number of days you can rent a car
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
The equation is $130 + $31.67x = 500
Subtract 130 from both sides $31.67x = $370
Divide $31.67 from both sides
X=11.68
BUT
you can’t have .68 of a day so the answer is 11 days.

Find the slope of the line passing through the points of (3,-5) and (-9,-6)
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

1

m = ---

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y2-y1

---------

x2-x1

(x1,y1) (x2,y2)

(3,-5) (-9,-6)

You get the 2 Y's and subtract them

Do the same with the X's

Y's above , X's below

(y2- y1)

⬇

-6-(-5) -1 1

--------- = ---- = ---- = m

-9-(3) -12 12

⬆

(×2- x1)

This equation is backwards, thats why it was harder to understand. (-9,-6) is farther left and below point (3,-5), making it the REAL first point in the equation.
