Wendy is starting a catering business and is attempting to figure out who
she should hire to transport the food to
different locations. She has found two
trucking companies
. Peter's Pick Up charges
$0.40 per mile and charges a flat fee of$68.
Helen's Haulers charges $0.65 per mile and
charges a flat fee of $23. When will the cost
of the catering business be the same and
how much will it be?

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

your answer is b.

x = 33.9

y = 65.6
