Answer:
d = 4.5t
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the table...
Francine covers:
9 miles in 2 hours
AND
18 miles in 4 hours
(You can use either one for this)
All you have to do is divide the ....
So, we can set up the fraction
...
So, knowing that 2 (time) · 4.5 = 9 (miles)...the answer would be
d(miles) = 4.5t (time)
So, the answer is d = 4.5t
Hope this helps!!!
x = - 1
given = x + 3
square both sides
1 - 3x = (x + 3 )² ( expand right side using FOIL )
1 - 3x = x² + 6x + 9 ( subtract 1 - 3x from both sides )
0 = x² + 9x + 8
0 = ( x + 1)(x + 8)
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = -1
x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8
As a check
substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions
x = - 1 : = 2 and - 1 + 3 = 2 ← true
x = - 8 : = 5 and - 8 + 3 = -5 ← false
thus the only solution is x = - 1
