To solve for x, multiply out the left side, set the equation equal to zero, then solve the quadratic equation using factoring or quadratic formula.
$(x - 2)(x - 3) = 2 \\ 
x^2 -2x -3x +6 = 2 \\ 
x^2-5x +4 = 0 \\ 
(x-4)(x-1)=0 \\
x = 4, \\x = 1$

Answer:

Monday, at 12:15 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

Do this question in parts. First, add 2 days to Friday to get Sunday at 5:45 PM. Then, add 6 hours to 5:45 to get 11:45 PM. Finally, add 30 minutes to 11:45 PM. That takes you to 12:15, and since you passed midnight, Sunday is now Monday. That means the bus arrives Monday, at 12:15 AM.

A car rental agency charges $120 per week plus $.12 per mile driven. How many miles did you drive if the total charge is $162?

777dan777 [17]

$\boxed{y=120+0.12x}\\
\\
y=162\\
\\
120+0.12x=162\\
\\
0.12x=162-120\\
\\
0.12x=42\\
\\
x=\frac{42}{0.12}\\
\\
\boxed{\boxed{x=350 \ miles}}$
