Recall d = rt, distance = rate * time.
now, he has a speed rate of 56 mph for a distance of 504

so, at that speed the whole driving time is 9 hours then. Ok, he drove 2 hours today, that means he drove 7 yesterday, 9 - 2.
how many miles is it for 7 hours at 56mph? d = rt ---> d = 56 * 7
that many miles he drove yesterday.
Answer:
B. Made smoother
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem with the knives people had was that they were too pointy and could be used to cause harm. In order to prevent the knives from causing harm the king ground them down meaning that he had the points of the knives smoothed so that they were not as dangerous.
SOLUTION:
Step 1 :
In this question, we are meant to find what percent of 142 is 58.
Step 2 :
We make the assumption that 142 is 100 % since it is our output value.
Step 3:
We next represent the value we see with x.
Step 4 :
From step 2, it follows that 100 % = 142.
Step 5 :
In the same vein, x % = 58.
Step 6 :
This gives us a pair of simple equations:

Step 7 :
By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and
taking note of the fact that the Left-Hand Side of both equations have the same unit ( % ), we have that :

Step 8 :
Taking the inverse ( or reciprocal ) of both sides yields:


CONCLUSION:
Therefore, 58 is 40.85 % of 142.
Answer:
D) 3x^2 - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Using PEMDAS;
There is no need to evaluate the part of the equation (x^2 - 8) because is no need to, as it is already in its simplest form.
We must evaluate the part of the equation continuing with, "- (-2x^2+4)," as it is not in its simplest form.
Evaluating "- (-2x^2+4)":
Step 1: Distributing the negative
Once distributing the negative symbol amongst the values within the parenthesis according to PEMDAS, we get "2x^2 - 4" as the product.
Step 2: Consider the rest of the equation to evaluate
Since the part of the equation is still in play here as it is a part of the original equation to be solved, we must evaluate it as a whole to get the final answer.
Thus,
x^2 -8 + 2x^2 - 4 = ___
*we can remove the parenthesis as it has no purpose, since it makes no difference.
Evaluating for the answer, we get,
x^2+2x^2 + (-8 - 4) = 3x^2 - 12
Hence, the answer is D) 3x^2 - 12.
