Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we write the rental cost with each company:

Company A Pa = 100 + 0.2*m

Company B Pb = 60 + 0.7*m

Where m: miles travelled

Now, we need to find "number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same". This means Pa = Pb. Then:

100 + 0.2*m = 60 + 0.7*m

Solving the equation for m by taking 0.2m and 60 on both sides:

100 + 0.2*m - 0.2*m - 60 = 60 + 0.7*m - 0.2*m - 60

40 = 0.5*m

Finally, dividing 0.5 on both sides:

m = 80

Work out the lengths of side a and side b 8cm and 5 cm 1 triangle 17cm and 12 cm on the other triangle pythagoras
Viktor [21]

Answer:

a = 9.4 cm

b = 12.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the image uploaded for diagram;

For the first diagram, side length a is calculated as follows;

a² = 8²  +  5²

a² = 64  +  25

a² = 89

a = √89

a = 9.4 cm ( approximated to 1 decimal place)

For the second diagram, side length b is calculated as follows;

b² = 17²  -  12²

b² = 145

b = √145

b = 12.0 cm (approximated to 1 decimal place)

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to line y = -3x – 8 and passes
qwelly [4]

Answer:

y = -3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is parallel, it has the same slope. Plug the point you have into the equation y - y1 = slope (x -x1) to get your answer, which should be y = -3x +3

Hopefully this helps - let me know if you have any questions!

What is the following quotient?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

B)  \sqrt{30}  - 3 \sqrt{2}  +  \sqrt{55}  -  \sqrt{33}  \div 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: First we have to get rid off the roots in the denominator.

To do that, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of √5 + √3.

The conjugate of √5 + √3 is √5 - √3.

Now multiply given expression with √5 - √3

(√6 + √11)     (√5 - √3)

------------- x   -----------

(√5 + √3)        (√5 - √3)

Step 2: Multiply the numerators and the denominators.

√6√5 - √6√3 +√11√5 -√11√3

------------------------------------------

(√5)^2 - (√3)^2

Now let's simplify to get the answer.

√30-√18 +√55 - √33

-----------------------------

5 - 3

= √30 -3√2 +√55                                     [√18 = √9√2 = 3√2]

--------------------------

2      

The answer is  \sqrt{30}  - 3 \sqrt{2}  +  \sqrt{55}  -  \sqrt{33}  \div 2


Thank you.
