Answer: 120.5 shares
Step-by-step explanation: You add 68.38 and 57.12 and there is you answer
Your answer would be:
596.64 = 596.640
Reasoning= If you just take away the zero from 596.640 you would have the same answer as 596.64. Now if you add a zero to 596.64 you still would have the same answer, therefore they are equal.
Hope this helps! (:
You can simply collect terms, subtract the constant and divide by the x-coefficient. It is generally considered easier to do those steps if you eliminate fractions first (multiply by 12).
Multiply by 12
... 4(x -1) +3(x +5) = 6
... 4x -4 +3x +15 = 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 7x +11 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .collect terms
... 7x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract the constant 11
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

Here it is the other way.
... x(1/3 +1/4) +(-1/3 +5/4) = 1/2
... (7/12)x + 11/12 = 1/2 . . add the fractions to finish collecting terms
... x + 11/7 = 6/7 . . . . . . . multiply by 12/7
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 11/7
At the third step here, you could subtract 11/12 before doing the multiply. You get the same answer, but you have to do the extra conversion of 1/2=6/12.
3 + 1.75m
This represents 1.75 per mile plus a one time 3 charge.
Another way this can be written is
(1.75m + 6) - 3
This is a less efficient way, but represents the same. It is 1.75 per mile, this is plus 6, therefore we add the -3 outside the parenthesis so it evens out to +3 as the base charge.
Example: Lets say its 3 miles.
3 + 1.75 (3) = 8.25
(1.75 (3) + 6) - 3 = 8.25
