Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide by 2, subtract 8 ...
2(4/x +8) = 18
4/x +8 = 9
4/x = 1
4 = x . . . . . multiply by x
By solving a linear equation, we will see that the total cost for renting the bus is $90.
<h3>What was the total cost of renting the bus, in dollars?</h3>
Let's say that the total cost is C.
When there are 20 students, each student should pay:
p = C/20
When the other 10 students are added (for a total of 30) each student pays:
p' = C/30.
We know that the cost for each of the original 20 students decreased by $1.50, so:
p' = p - $1.50
Then we have 3 equations to work with:
p = C/20
p' = C/30.
p' = p - $1.50
Now we can replace the first and second equations into the third one:
C/30 = C/20 - $1.50
Now we can solve this linear equation for C:
C/20 - C/30 = $1.50
C*( 1/20 - 1/30) = $1.50
C*(30/600 - 20/600) = $1.50
C*(10/600) = $1.50
C*(1/60) = $1.50
C = 60*$1.50 = $90
So the total cost for renting the bus is $90.

Standard form: a(X-h)²+k = ( -2/3X² -16/3X -32/3) +32/3 -17/3 = -2/3(X +4)² +5
y = -2/3*X^2-16/3*X-17/3
X = -4 ±√( 15/2) = -6.7386, or -1.2614
Axis of symmetry: X= -4; Vertex (maximum)=(h,k)=( -4, 5); y-intercept is (0,-5.66666666667)
two real roots: X=-1.2613872124776866 and -6.738612787477313
