Answer:  40 miles

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the number of miles and y represent the total cost

U-Haul: y = 0.75x + 49.95

ABC:     y = 0.50x + 59.95

Use substitution method to solve for x:

0.75x + 49.95 = 0.50x + 59.95

0.25x + 49.95 =              59.95         <em>subtracted 0.50x from both sides</em>

0.25x               =              10.00          <em>subtracted 49.95 from both sides</em>

                   x   =    40                        <em>divided 0.25 from both sides</em>

Remove the parentheses and simplify the expression. 1/9(9r+3)-(r+4)
arsen [322]
Multiply 1/9 by 9r and 3 = r + 1/3
then distribute the - sign = -r -4
and solve the problem r + 1/3 - r - 4 = 1/3-4 = -11/3

What is 30% of $56 <br><br> Please explain how you got the answer<br><br> Thanks!!
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
30% = 30/100
= 0.3

Now if we say that x% of a number is y then it actually means that x% multiplied by that number would be equal to y, thus:
30%*56 = 0.3*56
= 16.8

HElp me with this one but not with a big processs justa little one
xeze [42]
So 2 real solutions
just write 2 factors and expand
(x-3)(x-4)=0
x^2-7x+12=0
discriminant is when you have b^2-4ac
so subsitute
ax^2+bx+c=0
a=1
b=-7
c=12
-7^2-4(1)(12)
49-48=1
discriminant=1


one real solution would be
(x-1)(x-1)=0
x^2-2x+1=0
discriminant=-2^2-4(1)(1)=4-4=0
discriminant=0

no real solutions has the discriminant less than zero
let's say that b=1 and c=20 and a=1
basically, we need a set of numbers where b^2 is less than 4acso

1^2-4(1)(20)=1-80=-79
then we subsitute
x^2+x+20=0
