After reading through the story problem, I ended up with this equation:
(35-2)(x+.5) =?
or
(35-2)(10+.5)=?
Explanation:
He sells 35 books for usual weeks. Since he is selling his books at $.50 more his average number of copies decreased by 2.
35-2 = 33
Next, we know that he adds $.50 for his price for each copy. If the price is $10 per copy than it looks like this:
$10+$.50= 10+.5
or if the price is not $10 it will be
$x+$.5= x+.5
Discriminant = square root (b^2 -4*a*c)
square root (64 -4*1*12) =
square root (16) =
4
Therefore it has 2 rational soltions
Answer: at 50 mph, she drove for 4 hours.
at 45 mph, she drove for 2 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the time that she spent driving at 50 miles per hour.
Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break. This means that the time that she spent driving at 45 miles per hour is (6 - t) hours.
Distance = speed × time
Distance covered while driving 50 miles per hour is
50t
Distance covered while driving 45 miles per hour is
45(6 - t)
Since the total distance that she drove is 290 miles, it means that
50t + 45(6 - t) = 290
50t + 270 - 45t = 290
50t - 45t = 290 - 270
5t = 20
t = 20/5 = 4
At 45 miles per hour, she drove at
6 - 4 = 2 hours
I believe it would be 6^3
