<span>Each set of prices can be described by a linear function. In this case, Company A would be y = 5 + .5x, where y is the fare and x is the number of miles driven. Similarly, Company B would b y = 10 + .1x. The definition of intersection tells us that two lines interstect only at that point where their x and y coordinates are identical, which means, of course, that their y coordinates will be identical. So to find the point of intersection we can examine the point where the y coordinates are the same. Which is to say, where 5 + .5x = 10 + .1x. We can simplify this to .5x - .1x = 10 - 5, then .4x = 5, and finally, x = (5/.4) = 12.5. In other words, the fares will be equal when the miles driven is 12.5</span>
Answer:
-4x^3 + 7y^3 + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
7y^3 - 7x^3 + 4 - 5 + 6 - 3x^3 + 6x^3 Given
7y^3 - 7x^3 - 3x^3 + 6x^3 + 4 - 5 + 6 Rearrange
7y^3 - 4x^3 + 5 Combine the like terms
or
-4x^3 + 7y^3 + 5 Answer
57/6 = 1/x
57 = 6x
x = 0.11 miles per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
let age of samantha be 3x and age of jason be x.(since samantha is three times as old as jason)
Now,
3x+x=56 (sum of their ages is 56)
or 4x=56
or x=56/4
or x=14
therefore age of samantha=3x=3×14=42
age of jason = x = 14
