Answer:

DE = 86

EF = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that point E lies on segment DF, so that ...

DE + EF = DF

(3x +20) +(2x +40) = 170

5x = 110 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 60

x = 22 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

DE = 3×22 +20 = 66 +20 = 86

EF = 2×22 +40 = 44 +40 = 84

Move constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

2x^2 + 8 = -2 + 7
-2 + 7 = 5

Divide both sides of the equation by

x^2 + 4x = 5/2

Add (4/2^2) to both sides of the equation

x^2 + 4x + (4/2)^2 = 5/2 + (4/2)^2

factor the expression

(x + 4/2)^2 = 13/2

reduce the fraction by 2

(x + 2)^2 = 13/2

now solve equation for x

Nolan is deciding between two truck rental companies. Company A charges an initialfee of $90 for the rental plus $2 per mile dri

kotegsom [21]

first we writte the information they are giving to us:

For company A:

initial fee = $90

rent per mile = $2

For combany B:

initial fee = $50

rent per mile = $3

Now for company A the equation that represent the charge in one mile will be: (where n is the number of miles)

$\begin{gathered} A=90+2(n) \\ A=90+2(1) \\ A=90 \end{gathered}$

And for company B:

$\begin{gathered} B=50+3n \\ B=50+3(1) \\ B=53 \end{gathered}$

Now to determine the number miles driven, that would make the cost of each company the same, we have to make A = B

$\begin{gathered} A=B \\ 90+2n=50+3n \\ \end{gathered}$

and finaly we can solve for n

$\begin{gathered} 90-50=3n-2n \\ 40=n \end{gathered}$

so if they drive for 40 miles the will pay the same

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

570

Step-by-step explanation:

100% represents the total number of students at the school

Divide 171 by 30 to find 1% then multiply by 100 for total

total number of students = $\frac{171}{30}$ × 100 = 570
