Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of miles = x

C ost = Base + 0.84x

Cost = 220.71 dollars

Base = 19.95

220.71 = 19.95 + 0.84x                    Subtract 19.95 from both sides

220,71 - 19.95 = 0.84 x                    Combine

200.76 = 0.84x                                Divide by 0,84

200.76/0.84 = x

x = 239 miles.

Remark: The trick to this question is to make sure that total Cost, the Base amount, and cost / mile are all in dollars. Don't mix and match.

Solve by completing the square? Could you please work it out step-by-step?
DaniilM [7]
16 n^2 -10n + 129 = 8n^2 -8

We collect the terms:
8n^2 -10n + 137 = 0

The steps for completing the square:

1) Move the "non X" (or "non N") term to the right:

8n^2 -10n  = -137

<span>2)<span> Divide the equation by the coefficient of N² which in this case is 8
n^2 -1.2n = </span></span><span><span>-17.125 </span>

3) Take the coefficient of "N"; divide it by 2; square it; add it to both sides of the equation.
-1.2 / 2 = -.6
-.6^2 = .36

</span>
n^2 -1.2n +.36 = <span>-17.125 +.36

Take the square root of both sides:</span>
(n-.6)*(n-.6) = sq root( <span> <span> <span> -16.765 </span> </span> </span> )
That's about as far as I can go.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation: Altogether you sold x last week, if you do x + 14 which is 2x12 brownies sold, then at 3$ each 3(2x+12)=84 so 6x + 36 = 84

84- 36 = 48/6 = 8
