Hello!

no, that is not the correct way to isolate x. you were somewhat on the right track however.

here's the correct way:

add 7 to both sides to get -3x = -6

then divide both sides by -3 to get x = 2

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

The cost, in dollars, of a one-day car rental, is given by C (x) = 31 + 0.18x, where x is the number of miles driven. In this fu

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the function is c(x) = 31 + 0.18*x

where $31 is a fixed cost, and $0.18 is the cost per mile drive (where the number of miles driven)

So the fixed cost, $31, is the cost per day of rent (this price does not depend on the number x), and the linear cost, $0.18, is the cost per mile driven (because this number is multiplied by x in the function), then the right answer is B: "$31 is the cost per day to rent the car and $0.18 is the cost per mile."

Answer: $4\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the following:

$i=\sqrt{-1} \\\\i^2=-1$

Given the following expression:

$-2i\sqrt{-12}$

You can notice that the radicand (the number inside the square root) is negative. Therefore, in order to simplify the expression, you need to follow these steps:

1. Replace $\sqrt{-1}$ with $i$ and simplify:
