Step-by-step explanation:
Solved it as an equation 2 x+x=6
x= number of miles Katie drives
Answer: 1,356 tickets
12x=16,272
divide by 12 on both sides
12x÷12=16,272÷12
x=16,272÷12
x=1,356
I hope this is good enough:
So since this is a linear equation, which is y=mx+b, you use what it tells you in the word problem. so mx is the rate, since in this equation 200 per ton of sugar that's your mx, so its 200x. then for your b value, which in this case is the cost of truck rental, so its 5,400.
your equation is C=200s+5400
the variables are the same so you can use Y and X, but I used the variables used in the word problem.
Y=200x+5400
Answer: 3/8
Explanation: To subtract unlike fractions such as 5/8 - 1/4, first find a common denominator. The common denominator of 8 and 4 will be the least common multiple of 8 and 4 which is 8.
Notice that our first fraction already has 8 in the denominator so it stays the same. To get 8 in the denominator of 1/4, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 2/8.
Now we have 5/8 - 2/8.
To subtract like fractions, we simply subtract the numerators to get 3 and keep our denominator of 8 and we have 3/8.
Since 3/8 is in lowest terms, it's our final answer.
Therefore, 5/8 - 1/4 = 3/8.
