Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
10 + 2(7 - 9x) = 5(2x - 12)
10 + 14 - 18x = 10x - 60
24 - 18x = 10x - 60
+60 +60
-------------------------------------
84 - 18x = 10x
+18x +18x
-------------------------------------
84 = 28x
/28 /28

3 = x
answer
$962.50
set up equation
first, we want to find out how many gallons of gas she'll save a year
x1 = gallons for old car
x2 = gallons for new car
gallons saved = x1 - x2 since she uses more gallons with the old car with a lower miles per gallon
then, find how much she saves on gas by multiply the price per gallon (3.85) by gallons saved
price saved = gallons saved * price
price saved = (x1 - x2) * 3.85
gallons with old car
to find the number of gallons, we divide the number of miles (15000) by miles per gallon (24 for the old car)
x1 = 15000 / 24
x1 = 625
gallons with new car
use the same process as with the old car, but with 40 miles per gallon instead
x2 = 15000 / 40
x2 = 375
plug in values
price saved = (x1 - x2) * 3.85
price saved = (625 - 375) * 3.85
price saved = 250 * 3.85
price saved = $962.50
Answer:
O x = - 6 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 4x - 4 - 8 = 0
x² + 4x - 12 = 0
x² + 6x - 2x - 12 = 0
x(x + 6)x - 2(x + 6) = 0
(x + 6) (x - 2) = 0
x + 6 = 0 or x - 2 = 0
x = - 6 or x = 2
Thus, x = - 6 or x = 2
