3(x - 1) = 2x + 9
3x - 3 = 2x + 9
3x (-2x) -3 (+3) = 2x (-2x) + 9 (+9)
(3x -2x) = (9 + 9)
(x) = (18)
x = 18
x = 18 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
it take 1/7 km in 1 hour then,
1 km it take 7 hours
so, it cover 5 km in 35 hours
1/7 km ------- 1 hour
1km ------- 7 hour
5km -------( 5*7) == 35 hours
3 + 1.75m
This represents 1.75 per mile plus a one time 3 charge.
Another way this can be written is
(1.75m + 6) - 3
This is a less efficient way, but represents the same. It is 1.75 per mile, this is plus 6, therefore we add the -3 outside the parenthesis so it evens out to +3 as the base charge.
Example: Lets say its 3 miles.
3 + 1.75 (3) = 8.25
(1.75 (3) + 6) - 3 = 8.25
Perform indicated operations on left side
x*x+4x+4x+4*4=9
x^2+4x+4x+16=9 combine like terms on left side
x^2+8x+16=9 subtract 9 from both sides
x^2+8x+7=0 factor
x^2+x+7x+7=0
x(x+1)+7(x+1)=0
(x+7)(x+1)=0
x=-1, -7
