Answer:

I believe the answer would be 20 miles max for one passenger.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you create an equation out of this, knowing that only one passenger will be riding, you will get:

$3.00+$1.25x=$28 ($3 added too $1.25 times the number of miles (x) which equals the total amount you have ($28)).

x being the number of miles (so we need to calculate for x)

$3 + $1.25x = $28

-subtract 3 on both sides-

$1.25x=$28-$3

$1.25x=$25

-divide by 1.25 on both sides-

x=$25/$1.25

x=20 miles

Not sure if all calculations are correct, but I hope this helps :)!

Answer:3.82

Step-by-step explanation: Find 80% of 4.50 (4.50 x 0.8=3.60) then find 6% of 3.6 (0.06 x 3.6= 0.216) add 0.216 + 3.6= 3.816 but in money you have to round so the answer is 3.82

In a triangle, one angle is 3 times the first, another is 5 times the first. How large is the largest angle in degrees? round yo

Leno4ka [110]

let's recall that a triangle has a total of 180° for its interior angles.

x = first angle

3x = second angle, three times the first one

5x = third angle, five times the first one, and largest.

$\bf x+3x+5x=180\implies 9x=180\implies x = \cfrac{180}{9}\implies x = 20 \\\\\\ \stackrel{largest}{5(x)}\implies 5(20)\implies 100$

How do i find the quotient of rational expressions???

alisha [4.7K]

First, turn it into a multiplication problem by multiplying by the reciprocal of the divisor. Then, you can cancel common factors in the numerator and denominator to make things easier to work with. Finally, multiply<span> to get your final answer!</span>

Long division<br> 3x+1/6x^6+5x^5+2x^4-9x^3+7x^2-10x+2

inna [77]

$(6 x^{6}+5x^{5}+2x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2) / (3x+1)$

We divide first number from first parenthesis with first number from second parenthesis. Then the resulting number we multiply by all numbers in second parenthesis and substract from first parenthesis.

$6 x^{6}/3x = 2 x^{5} \\ \\ 6 x^{6}+5x^{5}+2x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2 - 6 x^{6} -2 x^{5} = 3x^{5}+2x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2\\$

We repeat previous steps until we run out of numbers:
$3x^{5}/3x=x^{4} \\ \\ 3x^{5}+2x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2-3x^{5}-x^{4}= \\ \\ x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2 \\ \\ \\ x^{4}/3x= \frac{1}{3} x^{3} \\ \\ x^{4}-9x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2-x^{4}- \frac{1}{3} x^{3}= \\ \\ - \frac{28}{3} x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2 \\ \\ \\ - \frac{28}{3} x^{3}/3x= - \frac{28}{9} x^{2} \\ \\ - \frac{28}{3} x^{3}+7x^{2}-10x+2+ \frac{28}{3} x^{3}+ \frac{28}{9} x^{2} = \\ \\ \frac{91}{9} x^{2}-10x+2$
$\frac{91}{9} x^{2}/3x=\frac{91}{27} x \\ \\ \frac{91}{9} x^{2}-10x+2-\frac{91}{9} x^{2}-\frac{91}{27} x= \\ \\ -\frac{361}{27} x+2 \\ \\ \\ -\frac{361}{27} x/3x=-\frac{361}{81} \\ \\ -\frac{361}{27} x+2+\frac{361}{27}x+\frac{361}{27}= \\ \\ \frac{415}{27}$

We are left with a number that has no x inside. This is remainder.
The final solution is sum of all these solutions and remainder:
$(2 x^{5}+x^{4}+\frac{1}{3} x^{3} - \frac{28}{9} x^{2} +\frac{91}{27} x)+(-\frac{361}{81} )$
