<span>Each set of prices can be described by a linear function. In this case, Company A would be y = 5 + .5x, where y is the fare and x is the number of miles driven. Similarly, Company B would b y = 10 + .1x. The definition of intersection tells us that two lines interstect only at that point where their x and y coordinates are identical, which means, of course, that their y coordinates will be identical. So to find the point of intersection we can examine the point where the y coordinates are the same. Which is to say, where 5 + .5x = 10 + .1x. We can simplify this to .5x - .1x = 10 - 5, then .4x = 5, and finally, x = (5/.4) = 12.5. In other words, the fares will be equal when the miles driven is 12.5</span>
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Substituting x=4 into the equation gives a 2-step linear equation in y. It is solved by isolating the variable and making its coefficient be 1.

<h3>use x=4</h3>
When x=4, the equation becomes ...
-3x +9y = -57
-3(4) +9y = -57
-12 +9y = -57
<h3>solve 2-step equation</h3>
The <u>first step</u> is to "isolate" the variable term (9y) by adding the opposite of the constant that is on the same side of the equation. The result is that the variable term is by itself on one side of the equal sign.
-12 +12 +9y = -57 +12 . . . . . add the opposite of -12
9y = -45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
The <u>second step</u> is to make the coefficient of y be 1. We do that by multiplying by its inverse, 1/9. Equivalently, we divide by 9.
(1/9)(9y) = (1/9)(-45) . . . . multiply by the inverse of 9
y = -5 . . . . . . simplify
Find the midpoint:
m= x1+x2/2; y1+y2/2
m= 9+-1/2; 8+-2/2
m= 8/2; 6/2
m= (4,3)
(4,3) is your answer.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
For this transition of equations, the graph of g(x) will be translated left 2 units with respect to the graph of f(x), so your answer choice will be A.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this equation, g(x) is changed by adding 2 and closing part of the equation in parenthases, this results in the translation 2 units left, which can be proven by a graph and my answer.
D) 34/5 because 6(5) = 30 30+4=34 , so its 34/5
