X/8 - 10 = x/3
bring the values with the variable on one side
x/3 - x/8 = 10
find a common denominator and subtract these fractions
8x/24 - 3x/24 = -10
now subtract fractions
8x - 3x = 5x
5x/24 = -10
multiply both sides by 24
5x = -240
divide both sides by 5
x = -48
the number is -48
The inequality that can be used to determine x is

<h3>How to generate the inequality</h3>
<u>Given data</u>
Rental company charge per day = $31.91
Rental company charge per mile driven = $0.07
Hudson plans to drive 100 miles
Hudson has at most $70
solution
let x represent he maximum number of days Hudson can afford to rent while staying on budget. cost of number of days is:
$31.91 * x= 31.91x
As Hudson plans to ride 100 miles; cost is:
100 * 0.07 = $7
therefore number of days plus 100 miles ride is:
31.91x + 7
with a limit of less than or equal to the budget we have:

The inequality above could be used to determine x

Find the formula for the polynomial
then solve
A second degree polynomial function has the general form:

, where

.
The leading coefficient is a, so we have a=-1.
5 is a double root means that :
i) f(5)=0,
ii) the discriminant D is 0, where

.
Substituting x=5, we have
f(5)=a(5)^2+b(5)+c,
and since f(5)=0, and a is -1 we have:
0=-25+5b+c
thus c=25-5b.
By ii)

.
Substituting a with -1 and c with 25-5b we have:
Finally we find c: c=25-5b=25-50=-25
Thus the function is

Remark: It is also possible to solve the problem by considering the form

directly.
In general, if a quadratic function has leading coefficient a, and has a root r of multiplicity 2, then its form is
