A truck can be rented from Company A for $60 a day plus $0.60 per mile . Company B charges $30 a day plus $0.90 per mile to rent

x = the number of miles

y = the total cost

Company A:

0.60x + 60 = y     [Company A charges $60 plus $0.60 per mile(x)]

Company B:

0.90x + 30 = y      [Company B charges $30 plus $0.90 per mile(x)]

To find the number of miles where the costs for both companies are the same, you can set the equations equal to each other as the costs(y) are the same:

y = y      Substitute the equations into "y" (substitute (0.60x + 60) and (0.90x + 30) into "y" since y = 0.60x + 60 and y = 0.90x + 30)

0.60x + 60 = 0.90x + 30   To find x, isolate/get the variable "x" by itself. Subtract 30 on both sides

0.60x + 60 - 30 = 0.90x + 30 - 30

0.60x + 30 = 0.90x      Subtract 0.60x on both sides to get "x" on one side of the equation

0.60x - 0.60x + 30 = 0.90x - 0.60x

30 = 0.30x      Divide 0.30 on both sides to get "x" by itself

100 = x     100 miles

(if you need to find out the cost where both companies cost the same, you can substitute/plug in the value of x into one of the equations.)

0.60x + 60 = y     Plug in 100 into "x" since x = 100

0.60(100) + 60 = y

120 = y        At 100 miles, both companies cost $120

Evaluate the step function for the given input values. g(x) = g(2) = g(–2) = g(5) =
romanna [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

g(2) = g(–2) = g(5) is never true for the step function.  One " = " symbol per pair of g values, please.

The step function, which you're calling "g(x)," is 0 from -infinity up to but not including 0.  It's 1 from x just greater than 0 through infinity.

Thus:

g(2) = 1 because x is greater than 0.

g(-2) = 0 because x is less than 0.

g(5) = 1 because x is greater than 0.

Please help I learned this a while ago and forgot how to do it
lara [203]

Answer:

The slope-intercept form is y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{11}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, use

m=\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}

Replace the x and y values with the points.

m=\frac{7-5}{3-(-1)}

Solve.

m=\frac{2}{4}

m=\frac{1}{2}

After that, find the y-intercept form.

Put the equation in point-slope form.

y-5=\frac{1}{2}(x+1)

Replace x with 0.

y-5=\frac{1}{2}(0+1)

y-5=\frac{1}{2}

Add 5 to both sides.

y=5\frac{1}{2}

Convert to improper fraction form.

The y-intercept is \frac{11}{2}

Now finally, write in slope-intercept form. (y=mx+b)

m is slope, b is the y-intercept.

Solve for x, round to the nearest tenth. find x x =
Illusion [34]

Answer:

64.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use tan to find the measure of x.

tan = 0pposite/adjacent

opposite = 29

adjacent = 14

so:

tan(x)=29/14\\x = tan^{-1} (29/14)\\x = 64.2
