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

In what positive integral number base is 231 double 113
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Base 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine the base at which:

113 X 2 =231

We consider the last number of the result (231).

The base must be a number such that:

3 X 2 will have a remainder of 1.

3 X 2 = 6 = 5 Remainder 1

Therefore:

113 X 2 =231 in positive integral number base 5.

Solve x: <br> 6 - 4x = -38<br> --Please help! This is homework due in for Monday! Xx
igomit [66]

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

First, subtract 6 from both sides

-4x + 6 (-6) = -38 (-6)

-4x = -38 - 6

-4x = -44

Next, fully isolate the x by dividing -4 from both sides

(-4x)/-4 = (-44)/-4

x = -44/-4

x = 11

11 is your answer for x.

Molodets [167]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: how many dolphins

there are 6 sharks

sharks to dolphins is 3 to 5

3 S to 5 D

we can divide 6 (amount of sharks known) by 3, to get what a ratio of 1 is

6 ÷ 3 = 2

so 2 sharks is = 1 part or ratio

now we can times by 5 to get a ratio of 5

5 × 2 = 10

there are 10 Dolphins

Step 2: How many starfish

repeat the steps above but for the ratio 2: 7 where 2 is the Dolfin ratio and there are 10 dolphins

Which equation is equivalent to 3[x+3(4x-5)]=15x-24
Klio2033 [76]
3[x+3(4x-5)]=15x-24; x+12x-15=5x-8 (divide both sides by 3); 8x=7 (move all the x's to one side), x=7/8
