Not quite sure what you mean by brackets, but you can get the solution to this equation in a few steps:
<span>(-2x - 1)</span>² <span>= 0 ... square root both sides to eliminate the squared binomial
</span>√(-2x - 1)² = √0 ... simplify; the square is canceled out and the root of 0 brings you back to 0
-2x - 1 = 0 ... solve like a two-step equation
-2x = 1
x = -1/2 is your x-value.
Answer:
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
A line parallel to the x- axis has equation
y = c
Where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through
The line passes through (1, 5) with y- coordinate of 5, thus
y = 5 ← equation of line
You will pay $2.78 per mile for a total of 7 miles you will pay $19.50, but you must remember the taxi driver charges a $2.00 fixed rate so your final total will be $21.50
Answer:
$324,870.00
Step-by-step explanation:
357,000.00 x .09 = $32,130.00
357,000.00 - $$32,130.00 = $324,870.00
