Answer:
Assuming the 2 at the ends are the exponents,
the answer is -x^2-5x+6 (x^2+5x-6)
from here, it cannot be simplified more
Explanation --
Just add everything by putting the terms in parentheses and adding them.
Keep simplifying by putting the like terms together and adding/subtracting them.
At the end, you come up with -x^2-5x+6, so multiply -1 on the whole thing (by putting parentheses on its sides. This makes x positive. But they are the same thing, but this step is just for simplifying the end product a little more.
Hope this helps!! Have a nice day!
Let's say the number of days library book is late is X, and the total fee is Y.
Liability charges $0.30 dollars as a fee for being 1 day late,
For being 1 day late, fee charge is: 1* $0.30
So, for X days the charge would be: X*$0.30.
Total charge for being X days late is Y, Which means: Y= 0.30 * X.
Now We would have to check all the viable solutions in the answer to see if they satisfy the equation Y= 0.30 * X
Option
one(-3, -0.9) and two (-2.5, -0.75) Would not be a viable solution
because the value of number of days can not be negative and in option
one and two, value of days -3 and -2.5 is negative.
Option
three(4.5, 1.35) can not be correct because library charges fee for a
full day so the number for days would be a whole number. Library would
not charge for 4.5 days, they would either charge of 4 days or 5 days
because 4.5 is not an whole number.
Option four(8, 2.40) is the correct answer because it satisfies our equation;
Y= 0.30 * X
2.40= 0.30 * 8
2.40 = 2.40.
Fourth option (8, 2.40) is the only viable solution to this question.
The total cost for X hours is the fixed cost of $15 plus the variable cost of $4 per hour which is equal to 4*X, so the total cost is 4*X + 15
If Margie does not want to spend more than $27 then the inequality is
4*X + 15 <= 27
4*X <= 12
X <= 3
If Margie does not want to spend more than $27 then she cannot rent the bicycle for more than 3 hours
Can be written as
w +2.3 > 18
