Questions (contd)
(a) For what amount of driving do the two plans cost the same?
(b) What is the cost when the two plans cost the same?
Answer:
(a) 100 miles
(b) $65
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Plan 1:

per mile
Plan 2:

per mile
Solving (a): Number of miles when both plans are equal
Represent the distance with x and the cost with y
So:
Plan 1:

Plan 2:

To solve (a), we equate both plans together; i.e.


Collect Like Terms


Solve for x


Hence, 100 mile would cost both plans the same
Solving (b): Cost when both plans are the same:
In this case, we simply substitute 100 for x in any of the y equation.




<em>Hence, the amount is $65</em>
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-9df^3 - 3f^3 - 7d^2 - 8d - 15625
Step-by-step explanation:
So, first, what are the two sides?
let's call then x and y
we know that 2(x+y)=12.5 (that's the distance around)
so that means that x+y=6.25 (I just divided both by 2)
now, x=4y (from "4 times as long as it is wide")
so we can substitute:
x+4x=6.25
5x=6.25
x=1.25
so one side, is 1.25 and the other will be 1.25*4=5
and for the area we multiply the two:
1.25*5=6.25 square kilometers, and this is the answer!
Answer:
y = -5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The only lines that have a slope of 0 are horizontal lines. Horizontal lines are always in the form y = c where c is a constant. Basically, on a horizontal line, no matter what x is, y will always be the constant c. Therefore, the x coordinate of our given point does not matter and we only have to look a the y-coordinate, which is -5.5. Therefore, the equation is y = -5.5.
