Is one piece good? and how long is it?
The value of x is -27
1/3(-27) + 7 = -2
-9 + 7 = -2
-2 = -2
Hope this helps!
Your equation should be 1.50x + 13 = 35.50
first, subtract 13 from both side leaving you with 1.50x = 22.50
now divide 1.50 from both sides
x = 15 (greatest number of rides)
225 miles / 3 hours = 75 miles / 1 hour
so the rate per hour is 75 miles
