Alborosie
If Eric wanted to walk 24,000 steps in 4 days, he would have to walk 6,000 steps each day (24/4=6). The correct answer would be the bottom answer as saying he has already walked 2 days it would be (y=-6,000(2)+24,000) this would simply out to (y=-12,000+24,000) and then (y=12,000).

A pyramid has a rectangular base of length (3x + 1)cm and width xcm.
sergey [27]

Answer:

The dimension of the base of the Rectangle Pyramid is Length = 10 and Width = 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle Pyramid

Base Length = 3x + 1

Base Width = x

Height = 12

Volume = 96

Required

Dimension of the base of the pyramid

Given that the volume of the pyramid is ⅓ of the base area * the height.

This is represented mathematical as

Volume = ⅓ * base area * height.

Where

Base area = width * length

Base area = (3x + 1) * x

Base area = 3x² + x.

So,

Volume becomes

Volume = ⅓ * (3x² + x) * 12.

Volume = (3x² + x) * 4

Substitute 96 for volume

96 = (3x² + x) * 4

Divide both sides by 4

96/4 = (3x² + x) * 4/4

24 = 3x² + x

Subtract 24 fr both sides

24 - 24 = 3x² + x - 24

0 = 3x² + x - 24

3x² + x - 24 = 0

Expand

3x² + 9x - 8x - 24 = 0

Factorize

3x(x + 3) - 8(x + 3) = 0

(3x - 8)(x + 3) = 0

3x - 8 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

3x = 8 or x = -3

x = 8/3 or x = -3

Recall that

Length = 3x + 1

Width = x

For any of the above expression, x can't be less than 0; so, x = -3 can't be considered.

Substitute x = 8/3

Length = 3x + 1

Length = 3(8/3) + 1

Length = 8 + 1

Length = 9

Width = x

Width = 8/3

Hence, the dimension of the base of the Rectangle Pyramid is Length = 10 and Width = 8/3

Two payment options to rent a car: You can pay $20 a day plus 25¢ a mile (Option A) or pay $10 a day plus 50¢ a mile (Option B).
BaLLatris [955]

You must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Two payment options to rent a car

Let "x" be the number of miles driven in one day

<em><u>You can pay $20 a day plus 25¢ a mile (Option A)</u></em>

25 cents is equal to 0.25 dollars

OPTION A :  20 + 0.25x

<em><u>You pay $10 a day plus 50¢ a mile (Option B)</u></em>

50 cents equal to 0.50 dollars

Option B: 10 + 0.50x

<em><u>For what amount of daily miles will option A be the cheaper plan ?</u></em>

For option A to be cheaper, Option A must be less than option B

Option A < Option B

20 + 0.25x < 10 + 0.50x

Solve the inequality

Add -0.50x on both sides

20 +0.25x -0.50x < 10 + 0.50x - 0.50x\\\\20 - 0.25x < 10

Add - 20 on both sides,

20 - 0.25x - 20 < 10 - 20\\\\-0.25x < -10

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:-1\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)}

0.25x > 10

Divide both sides by 0.25

x > 40

Thus you must drive more than 40 miles to make option A the cheaper plan
