2x+3-x+5
x+8 is the simplified answer.
Hope this helps!!
Do you remember when you were learning about the "Least Common
Multiple" of two numbers, and you were wondering why you had to learn
it, because you were so sure that you'd never need to use it ? Do you
remember that ?
Well, HERE's where you get to use it. This question is just looking for
the LCM of 6 and 15 . THAT's how many days it will be before you get
homework in both subjects on the same day again.
(It's not 90 days, and it's not 60 days.)
Suppose we choose
and
. Then
Now suppose we choose
such that
where we pick the solution for this system such that
. Then we find
Note that you can always find a solution to the system above that satisfies
as long as
. What this means is that you can always find the value of
as a (constant) function of

Answer:
10.4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an equation for the total cost paid as a function of the # of miles driven:
L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x
and set this equal to $40.03 to determine the # of miles Lupita rode:
L(x) = $6.75 + ($3.20/mile)x = $40.03
Isolate the x term by subtracting $6.75 from both sides:
($3.20/mile)x = $40.03 - $6.75 = $33.28
Finally, divide both sides by ($3.20/mile):
x = $33.28 / ($3.20/mile)
= 10.4 miles
Lupita rode 10.4 miles in the taxi.
