The speed of one car is 'S'. The speed of the other car is (S + 10).
In 5 hours, the first car travels (5S) miles, and the other car travels 5(S + 10) miles.
Since they're going in opposite directions, the distance between them at any time
is the sum of the distance that each one has traveled.
500 = (5S) + 5(S + 10)
500 = 5S + 5S + 50
500 = 10S + 50
Subtract 50 from each side:
450 = 10S
Divide each side by 10
S = <u>45</u>
S + 10 = <u>55</u>
The true statement is that renting from Company B will be cheaper if Samir drives the truck 100 miles. Then the correct option is D.
<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>
The linear equation is given as,
y = mx + c
Where m = the slope of the line
c is the y-intercept of the line.
Let y be the total amount and x be the number of miles.
Samir can rent a moving truck from Company A for $35 plus $0.50 per mile. Then the equation will be
y = 0.5x + 35 ....1
Company B for $25 plus $0.70 per mile. then the equation will be
y = 0.7x + 25 ....2
For the same rent, the number of miles will be
0.7x + 25 = 0.5x + 35
0.2x = 10
x = 50 miles
Renting from Company B will be cheaper if Samir drives the truck 100 miles. Then the correct option is D.

Answer:
<h3>The answer is option 3 </h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
4x² - 2y
when
x = - 2 and y = - 1
Substitute the values of x and y into the expression and simplify
That's
We have the final answer as
<h2>18</h2>

Cramer's rule works as follows:
x+3y=16
3x+y=8
Then
x=Dx/D
y=Dy/D
where Dx,Dy,D are 2x2 matrices formed from of coefficients and right hand side.
D=
1 3
3 1
=1-9=-8
Dx=matrix D with first column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
16,3
8 1
=16-24
=-8
Dy=matrix D with second column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
1 16
3 8
=8-48
=-40
Therefore
x=-8/-8=1
y=--40/-8=5
Check:
x+3y=1+3(5)=16
3x+y=3(1)+5=8 ok.
Answer:
Terrell drove 200 miles one way
Step-by-step explanation:
Since his trip concluded at 9 hours, let's say that x = time traveled at 40 mph
and 9 - x = time traveled at 50 mph
D = (rate) x (time)
<em>40x = 50(9 - x)</em> -----Use Distributive property on the right side of the equation
<em>40x = 450 - 50x</em><em> </em>-----Add 50x on both sides
<em>90x = 450</em> ------Divide by 90 on both sides
We end up with<em> x = 5 </em>which is the value we need to determine the distance of our first trip, calculated by
<em>D = 40x</em>, or <em>40(5) = 200 mi</em>
