Well it is distributive but you don't but the multiplication sign by the 8 with the parenthesis so it would be 8(12*5) and then you do 8*12 which is 96 and then 8*5 which is 40 and then add 96+40
To find your answer you need to do y divided by x.
since x = -12 and y = 3 you do 3 ÷ -12 and you get -0.25, this as a fraction is -1/4 and this is your answer!
Hope this helped!
Answer:
An equation for each situation, in terms of x
A = 35 + 3x
B = 80 + 2x
The interval of miles driven x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B is 0 to 44.9 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A represent the amount Company A would charge if Piper drives x miles
Let B represent the amount Company B would charge if Piper drives x miles.
Company A charges an initial fee of $35 for the rental plus $3 per mile driven.
A= $35 + $3 × x
A = 35 + 3x
Company B charges an initial fee of $80 for the rental plus $2 per mile driven.
B = $80 + $2 × x
B = 80 + 2x
The interval of miles driven x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B.
= A < B
35 + 3x < 80 + 2x
3x - 2x < 80 - 35
x < 45 miles
That is: any number of miles driven below 45 miles makes Company A cheaper than Company B
The interval of miles driven x, for which Company A is cheaper than Company B is 0 to 44.9 miles.
