1. combine like terms (2x and -7x) to create -5x
2. subtract 5 from each side to create: -5x=10
3. divide both sides by -5
4. x=-2
The pictures may be in a different order for you but it’s the 3rd graph where the minimum is (-4,-1)
We already know from the given data that 6 pencils can be bought for 59 cents. We have to determine the number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95.
So
Price of 6 pencils = 59 cents.
Price of 1 pencil = (59/6) cents
= 9.83 cents
Now total amount in hand for buying pencils = $2.95
= 295 cents
Then the number of pencils that can be bought for 295 cents = (295/9.83)
= 30.01
So the maximum number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95 is 30 pencils.
165.63-$18.99= $146.64
$146.64 / .78€ per mi= 188miles
188 miles is your answer
