Now 
This expression is defined for all x.
Answer:
9) C. 35 + 0.12x = 44.36
10) B
11) A. 32
Step-by-step explanation:
9)
44.36 is the TOTAL so the equations have to EQUAL it.
PER mile means it's a variable so it's 0.12x:
35 is a constant so there's no variable attached:
35 + 0.12x = 44.36
10)
B because you have to cancel the y values and to do that, you multiply the 1st equation by 3.
11)
0.1x + 0.25(46 - x) = 6.70
0.1x + 11.5 - 0.25x = 6.7
-0.15x = 6.7 - 11.5
-0.15x = -4.8
x = 32
C. Because you have to look for the greatest number. Disregard whether it is negative or positive. Since you are looking for steepness. That does not matter.
