Answer:
400 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Gallons used = 16 - 4 = 12 gallons.
Miles driven = 12 / 0.03
= 1200/3
= 400 miles.
When handling problems of this nature make sure you setup the equations.
x = number of times they rent a boat.
Members
Cost = 105 + 9.50x
Non members because members don't have to pay the 105 we leave it out.
Cost = 14.75x
so now to determin when cost would be equal we set the two equations = to each other
105 + 9.50x = 14.75x
now solve for x
105 = 5.25x
20 = x
so they would have to rent 20 times to equal each other.
No because x3•x3•x3= 27x³ and x3•3•3=27x
Because you have to go in the order of PEMDAS, parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. From what you are saying, 'why you must simplify 3 to the second power first' it seems that you have no parenthesis, so you move onto what is next, which is exponents, in this case, 3 to the power of two.
