For this question, we can assume that RS + ST = RT. So now, we just have to plug in the expressions for these lengths, and solve the equation.
(3x+1) + (2x-2) = 64
Because we are only dealing with one operation, the parentheses aren't necessary.
3x + 1 + 2x - 2 = 64
Next, we should combine like terms on the left side of the equation. We know that 3x + 2x = 5x, and that 1 - 2 = -1.
5x - 1 = 64
The goal of an equation is to get the variable alone. To do this, we have to get rid of the -1 on the left side of the equation. So, we are going to add 1 to both sides of the equation, to cancel out the -1 on the left side.
5x = 65
Finally, we are going to divide both sides by 5, as this is the inverse operation of multiplication, which is how the 5 and the x are connected.
x = 13
Therefore, the value of x is 13.
Questions (contd)
(a) For what amount of driving do the two plans cost the same?
(b) What is the cost when the two plans cost the same?
Answer:
(a) 100 miles
(b) $65
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Plan 1:
per mile
Plan 2:
per mile
Solving (a): Number of miles when both plans are equal
Represent the distance with x and the cost with y
So:
Plan 1:
Plan 2:
To solve (a), we equate both plans together; i.e.
Collect Like Terms
Solve for x
Hence, 100 mile would cost both plans the same
Solving (b): Cost when both plans are the same:
In this case, we simply substitute 100 for x in any of the y equation.
<em>Hence, the amount is $65</em>
Answer:
