Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of renting a bike at Oceanside Bike Rental Shop = 18 + 8x

Where,

x = number of hours for renting the bike

Alyssa paid 50 dollars to rent a bike.

How many hours did she pay to have the bike checked out ?

C = 18 + 8x

50 = 18 + 8x

Subtract 18 from both sides

50 - 18 = 18 + 8x - 18

32 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8

32 / 8 = 8x / 8

4 = x

x = 4 hours

3. What are the roots of the polynomial y = x³ - 8?
zzz [600]

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 is a perfect cube, 8 is a perfect cube, so we use difference of cubes.

{a}^{3}  -  {b}^{3}  = (a - b)( {a}^{2}  + ab +  {b}^{2} )

Cube root of x^3 is x.

Cube root of 8 is 2

So

a=x

b= 2.

(x - 2)( {x}^{2}  - 2x + 4)

Set these equations equal to zero

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

{x}^{2}  - 2x + 4 = 0

If we do the discriminant, we get a negative answer so we would have two imaginary solutions,

Thus the only real root is 2.

If you want imaginary solutions, apply the quadratic formula.

1 + i  \sqrt{ 3 }

and

1 - i \sqrt{3}

Two consecutive perfect squares have a difference of $99$. what is the value of the larger perfect square?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first square number be x^2 then the next square number is (x+1)^2.

The difference between these two consecutive numbers is 99.

This implies that:

(x+1)^2-x^2=99

We expand to get:

x^2+2x+1-x^2=99

Simplify:

2x=99-1

2x=98

Divide both sides by 2

x=49

Therefore the value of the larger perfect number is

(49+1)^2=50^2=2500.

Kenya is solving the equation 5 3/4 - 1/6x = 4 1/2. She gets to 1 1/4 = 1/6x. Is this a valid way to solve the equation? answer
Alona [7]

Answer:

15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/4 - 1/6x = 4 1/2

move the variable to it's own side.

5 3/4 - 4 1/2 = 1/6x

change the subtracting side to have common denominators

5 3/4 - 4 2/4 = 1/6x

1 1/4 = 1/6 x

divide both sides by 1/6, same thing as multiplying both sides by 6 (reciprocal)

30/4 = x

reduce: 15/2 = x
