(2/3)(30)=20
30+20=50=(x/5)
(50*5)=x=250

Answer:
[See Below]
Step-by-step explanation:
✦ First split the equation in little pieces and solve them: 
   ✧ 4 - 16 = -12
   ✧ 4 + 4² = 20 (4² = 16)
✦ Now divide them: 
   ✧ -12 ÷ 20 = -0.6
So I'm guessing you're trying to simplify 4²... so it'd be 16 because none of the choices are the simplified version of the problem.

Simplifying
9x + -3(x + 8) = 6x + -24
Reorder the terms:
9x + -3(8 + x) = 6x + -24
9x + (8 * -3 + x * -3) = 6x + -24
9x + (-24 + -3x) = 6x + -24
Reorder the terms:
-24 + 9x + -3x = 6x + -24
Combine like terms: 9x + -3x = 6x
-24 + 6x = 6x + -24
Reorder the terms:
-24 + 6x = -24 + 6x
Add '24' to each side of the equation.
-24 + 24 + 6x = -24 + 24 + 6x
Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0
0 + 6x = -24 + 24 + 6x
6x = -24 + 24 + 6x
Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0
6x = 0 + 6x
6x = 6x
Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.
6x + -6x = 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
0 = 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
        
                    
             
        
        
        
X can be from -1.6 to -1.7 or x can be from -3.3 to 3.3
        
                    
             
        
        
        
1... the wording is a little confusing.
Is the charge $0.18 per mile or is it actually $36.18 per mile?
