<span>"The company pays $55 a day for food and lodging and $0.45 for each mile traveled" means that if she travels
m miles and is on a trip for
x days then Rita will receive:
55x + 0.45m dollars.
Rita drove 300 miles, means that m=300. Thus </span>
55x + 0.45m becomes <span>
</span>

(dollars.)
She was reimbursed $2,335 means that

.
Part A:

.
Part B:
We are given the equation 55x+135=2,335. Subtracting 135 from both sides we have:
55x=2,335-135=2,200.
Dividing both sides by 55, we get: x=2,200/55=40.
Part C: since x represents the number of days Rita spend on this trip, and x=40, then Rita spent 40 days on this trip.
Because 3^2 = 9
When you do (⅓)^2 what you are really doing is
(1^2)/(3^2) = 1/9
If you have (⅔)^2 you do
(2^2)/(3^2) = 4/9
Fractions get smaller because the denominator is also being squared which makes the denominator get bigger and when the denominator is bigger, you are dividing by a larger number which gives you a smaller answer. Whereas when you raise a whole number to an exponent, only the numerator get bigger because the denominator is 1 and 1 raised to any exponent is still 1
3^2 = (3^2)/(1^2) = 9/1 = 9
The answer is -7+19i because of the procedure used in math
Answer:
4x - y = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a new line which is parallel to old line 4x - y = 14 looks exactly the same as that of the old line EXCEPT that we replace the constant, 14, with C and find C for the line that passes through (-2, -3).
4x - y = 14 becomes 4x - y = C
Now substitutte -2 for x, -3 for y and calculate C:
4(-2) - (-3) = C, or
-8 + 3 = C = - 5
Thus, the new equation is 4x - y = -5
Answer:
The original price is $28.57
