Answer:

The distance is 8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write an equation for each of chauffeured car services.

The first one = 28 + 2x = ?

The second one = 13 + 5x = ?

Next, we need to figure out what x is. Usually I just plug in random numbers, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it.

I first plugged in 2 as x.

28 + 4 = 32

13 + 10 = 23

That didn't work, so I then plugged in 5.

28 + 10 = 38

13 + 25 = 38

So 5 would be the correct answer for what is the distance.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

The available amount for the down payment of car and invested $3,200 at 3.75% interest compounded continuously is 3449.23$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We know final amount is given by  

Where,

A=P \times e^{r t}

A   =   final amount

P   =  initial principal balance = $3200

r    =   interest rate = 3.74%

t    =  number of time periods elapsed = 2 years

Substituting the values in the formula

r=\frac{3.75}{100}=0.0375

A=3200 \times e^{(0.0375 \times 2)}

We know, e = 2.72

So we get A = 3449.23$ which is the available amount for the down payment of car .

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:21

Step-by-step explanation:

x=length

x(x-6)=315

x^2-6x=315

x^2-6x-315=0

(x-21)(x+15)

x=21, x=-15

x cannot be negative so the only answer is 21

$2.95 notebooks; 5% tax
dimaraw [331]
Turn 5% into a decimal which is 0.05, then multiply by 2.95 = 0.1475
round it off, which is 0.15
so $0.15 is the tax and if ur looking for the total price then add $2.95 to $0.15
