Answer:

Claire traveled for 9 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Distance traveled = 701 miles

Distance traveled each day = 80 miles

Distance traveled on last day = 61 miles

We need to find the number of days Claire traveled.

Solution:

Let the number of days Claire traveled be denoted by 'd'.

Now we can say that;

Total Distance traveled is equal to sum of Distance traveled each day multiplied by number of days and Distance traveled on last day.

framing in equation form we get;

80d+61=701

Now Subtracting both side by 61 using Subtraction Property of Equality we get;

80d+61-61=701-61\\\\80d = 640

Now Dividing both side by 80 we get;

\frac{80d}{80}=\frac{640}{80}\\\\d=8

Hence Claire traveled 80 miles in 8 days and 61 miles on last day making of total <u>9 days</u> of travel.

Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 2)? (–4, 0) (–2, 0) (0, 2) (4, –2)
son4ous [18]
<span>f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 2),
x-intercept means that f(x) = 0.

0 = (x-4)(x+2)
(x-4)=0, x= 4, point (4,0)
(x+2)=0, x = -2, point (-2,0)

This graph has 2 x-intercepts:  (4,0) and (-2,0).

From given answers we can choose only </span>(-2,0).

EleoNora [17]

mama giraffe: x

baby giraffe: \frac{2}{3} x

x + \frac{2}{3}x = 15

(3)x + (3)\frac{2}{3}x = (3)15

3x + 2x = 45

5x = 45

x = 9

baby giraffe: \frac{2}{3} x = \frac{2}{3}(9) = 2(3) = 6

Are 6(p+q) and 6p + q equivalent?
a_sh-v [17]
False

6(p + q) = 6p + 6q               ( distribute 6 to both p and q) (distribute to                                                          everything in the parenthesis)

6p + q = 6p + q

They are not equivalent

hope this helps
