Answer:

  48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of sweets Dora has to start with. Then 2d is the number Harini had. After they each ate 18, the ratio of their numbers is ...

  (2d -18)/(d -18) = 5/1

  2d -18 = 5(d -18) . . . . . multiply by d-18

  72 = 3d . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2d-90

  24 = d . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  2d = 48

Harini started with 48 sweets.

The passenger has drove 40.8 miles in cab

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

Given that, To pick up a passenger, the cab company charges a fee of $3.30

Let "x" be the number of miles

For each mile the cab carries the passenger, there is a charge of $2.40 per mile

Therefore,

Total charge = 3.30 + 2.40 ( number of miles )

Total charge = 3.30 + 2.40x

<em><u>Given that passenger is charged $ 101.22</u></em>

Therefore, total charge = 101.22

101.22 = 3.30 + 2.40x

Solve the above expression for "x"

2.4x = 101.22 - 3.3

2.4x = 97.92

x = 40.8

Thus the passenger has drove 40.8 miles in cab

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 4 ; y = 5

x² + y³ = 4² + 5³ = 16 + 125 = 141

2 + x = 2 + 4 = 6

141 ÷ 6 = 23.5

What is the quotient (125 – 8x3) ÷ (25 + 10x + 4x2)?
ahrayia [7]
Your answer is:
(125 - 8x^3) / (25 + 10x + 4x^2) = - ((2x - 5) * (4x^2 + 10x + 25)) / (4x^2 + 10x + 25) = - (2x - 5) = - 2x + 5

The correct result would be - 2x + 5.
