last week rafael drove m miles. this week he drove 153 miles. using m, write an expression for the total number of miles he drov

zzz [600]

The expression for the total number of miles he drove in the two weeks is m + 153

<h3>How to determine the expression for the total number of miles he drove in the two weeks?</h3>

The given parameters are

Last week = m miles

This week = 153 miles

The expression for the total number of miles he drove in the two weeks is

Expression = Last week + This week

This gives

Expression = m + 153

Hence, the expression for the total number of miles he drove in the two weeks is m + 153

Identify the quadratic function(s). (Select all that apply.)

Katen [24]

General Idea:

The quadratic function of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ .

Applying the concept:

Simplifying the equation in option A, we get...

$A) \; 8 - 5x = 4(3x - 1) \\Distributing \; 4 \; in \; right \; side \; of \; the \; equation. \\ \\ 8 - 5x = 12x - 4\\ The \; equation \; is \; a \; linear \; equation \; with \; variable \; on \; both \; sides.$

Simplifying the equation in option B, we get...

$B) \; \; (4a + 2)(2a - 1) + 1 = 0\\ Multiplying \; First \; \; Outer \; \; Inner \; \; Last \; terms\; in\; the \; left \; side.\\ \\ 4a \cdot 2a + 4a \cdot -1 + 2 \cdot 2a + 2 \cdot -1 + 1 = 0\\ \\ 8a^2-4a+4a-2+1=0\\ Combining \; like \; terms \; \\ \\ 8a^2 - 1 = 0\\ Above \; is \; a \; Quadratic \; Equation!$

Simplifying the equation in Option C, we get...

$C)\; \; 2y + 2(3y - 5) = 0\\ Distributing \; 2 \; in \; left \; side\\ \\ 2y+6y-10=0\\ Combining \; like \; terms\\ \\ 8y - 10 = 0\\ Above \; Equation \; is \; linear \; equation$

Simplifying the equation in Option D, we get

$D) \;2b(b - 7) + b = 0\\ Distributing \; 2b\; in \;the \;left\; side \;of \;the\;equation\\ \\ 2b \cdot b - 2b \cdot 7+b=0\\ Simplify \; in \; the \; left \; side \; of \; the \; equation\\ \\ 2b^2-14b+b=0\\ Combine \; like \; terms\\ \\ 2b^2-13b=0\\ Above \; equation \;is \;a \; Quadratic\;Equation!$

<u>Conclusion:</u>

Option B) & Option D) are quadratic equation!
