Answer:
The exponent of the second term (b) starts with 0 (b0 = 1) and then increases by one in each following term until it is equal to the exponent of the binomial (5).
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up the following equation for this segment:
x is segment AB's length, and 3x is segment BC's length. 20 is segment AC's length.
Combine like terms:
Divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself:
x will equal 5.
Plug this value into the values for both segments:
Segment AB:
Segment AB is 5 inches long.
Segment BC:
Segment BC is 15 inches long.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
We require 2 equations with the recurring part after the decimal point.
Let x = 0.555..... → (1)
Multiply both sides by 10, then
10x = 5.555..... → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the recurring decimal
(10x - x) = (5.5555 - 0.5555 ), that is
9x = 5 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = 
Answer: 4w-14
Step By step explanation: 4(w-2)-6= 4w-8-6= 4w-14
Answer: the fixed cost to rent the limousine is $200
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the fixed cost rent the limousine.
Let y represent the cost of of hiring the driver of the limousine per hour.
It cost $500 to rent a limousine for 5 hours. This means that
x + 5y = 500 - - - - - - - - - - -1
It costs 800 to rent a limousine for 10 hours. This means that
x + 10y = 800 - - - - - - - - - - -2
Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes
- 5y = - 300
y = - 300 /- 5
y = 60
Substituting y = 60 into equation 1, it becomes
x + 5 × 60 = 500
x + 300 = 500
x = 500 - 300
x = 200
