Let y = total charge for a car rental and x = miles driven
Proxy car equation: y = 0.32x + 18
YourPal equation: y = 0.36x + 12
Set equations right sides equal to each other... meaning their cost, y, are equal
0.32x + 18 = 0.36x + 12
18 = 0.04x + 12 (subtract 0.32x from both sides of the equation)
6 = 0.04x (subtract 12 from both sides of the equation)
150 = x (divide both sides of the equation by 0.04)
ANSWER: 150 miles
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
r/6 <-6 multiply both sides by 6 to get
<u>r < - 36 </u>
<u />
<u> or</u> 4r+2 > 18 subtract 2 from both sides of the equation
4r > 16 divide both sides by 4
<u> r > 4 </u>
No, but 16/15 is equivalent
When you divide exponents, you have to subtract them. So -4-3= -7 as the exponent
When you have a negative exponent, then you have to flip the fraction (all whole numbers are over 1 so flip the 1 to the top and the 5^7 on the bottom)
