Answer:6.774 gallons
Explanation: They drove 210 miles with 31 miles per gallon. So you divide 220/31=x
X=6.774 gallons
We are given :

Step 1: factor the part inside square root
The function given inside square root is of quadratic form.
So let us try to factorise it using AC method.
Here A*C = 4*25 = 100
so we have to find factors of 100 that add up to give -20.
the two factors are -10 and -10.
Rewriting the function :

=
=
=
Step 2:
Now we take square root of the factorised form

= 
Answer : (2x-5)
The answer is 257.92 dollars. Comment if you need more help :)
4 as the denominator of the fraction is equal to the degree of the root so the answer is the 4th root of x
