Answer: $0.1428/mi or about 14 cents per mile

Steps:

While the cost of car = $5,000.00 is not an operating cost, the annual decrease of value is. So, given that the market value after 1 year = $3,800, the value loss is 5000-3800=$1200 for the year.

Add cost of gas and oil = $750.00, Repairs/Maintenance = $250.00, Insurance = $300.00, to get $2500 total operating cost.

The cost per mile is $2500/17500 miles = $0.1428/mi or about 14 cents per mile

Answer:

x/10 = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the equation: x = -90

You are asked to divide 10 from both sides. Simplify:

(x)/10 = (-90)/10

x/10 = -90/10

x/10 = -9

x/10 = -9 is your answer.

Solve the inequality

const2013 [10]

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{x}{4}\geq-6}$

$\large\text{SUBSITUTE 1 where x is at temporarily, so we can simplify both}\\\large\text{sides of your inequality}$

$\large\text{NEW EQUATION: }\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{4}x \geq-6}$

$\large\text{MULTIPLY by 6 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{4\times\dfrac{}{}x \geq 4\times-6}$

$\large\text{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{4\times\dfrac{1}{4}}\large\text{ because that gives you the value of 1}$

$\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{4\times-6}\large\text{ because it helps you find out the number or value}\\\large\text{that is being compared to your x-value}$

$\mathsf{4\times-6=\boxed{\bf -24}}$

$\large\text{So, the number \underline{-24} is being compared to your x-value}$
