Step-by-step explanation:
Let u = x² ( choice of variable is flexible ), then
4u² - 21u + 20 = 0 ← expressed as a quadratic
This can now be solved for u and converted back into terms of x
Step-by-step explanation:
When the base is even it is positive when the base is odd it is negative
The two answers are the one selected and the choice |x-5| ≤ 1. The steps to solve the other equation are:
|x-5| ≤ 1
x-5 ≤ 1, x-5 ≥ 0
-(x-5) ≤ 6, x-5 is less than 0
x ≤ 6, x ≥ 5
x ≥ 4, x is less than 5
x ∈ [5,6]
x ∈ [4,5]
4 ≤ x ≤ 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by setting up a proportion where 864/12 = 504/x. We cross multiply and get 864x = 504 * 12. So 864x = 6048. Divide by 864 on both sides, x = 7.
It would take Charlie 7 hours to drive 504 miles.
