The science club needs to rent a bus for a field trip. main street buses charges a $40 rental fee, plus $2 per mile. county bus line charges a $20 rental fee, plus $3 per mile. for what number of miles will the total charges be the same? what will that charge be?

Answer from: cece4874

M = Main Buses
C = County Buses

so the charges from Main are $40 fee, then additional $2 for every mile you drive it for, so M = 40 + 2m
if your mileage is 20miles, when 2*20 is the charge
if your mileage is 50miles, when 2*50 is the charge
if your mileage is 1000miles, when 2*1000 is the charge
if your mileage is "m" miles, when 2*m is the charge

and County charges are $20 fee, then additional $3 for every mile... .so then C = 20 + 3m
if your mileage is 20miles, when 3*20 is the charge
if your mileage is 50miles, when 3*50 is the charge
if your mileage is 1000miles, when 3*1000 is the charge
if your mileage is "m" miles, when 3*m is the charge

so, their total charge is M and C respectively
when are the charges equal? well, when M = C
or
40 + 2m = 20 + 3m

solve for "m", to see at how many miles that happens

what will the charge be? plug that value for "m" on either, to get the charge

x= -3 and $x=\frac{-3+/-3i\sqrt{3} }{2}$

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

$(x^3-a^3)=$ $(x-a)(x^2+ax+a^2)$

where a is the cube root of $a^3$ .

here this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

$(x-3)(x^2+(3)x+3^2)\\(x-3)(x^2+3x+9)$ .

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

$x=\frac{-3+/-\sqrt{3^2-4(1)(9)} }{2(1)} \\x=\frac{-3+/-\sqrt{9-36)} }{2} \\x=\frac{-3+/-\sqrt{-27)} }{2}\\x=\frac{-3+/-3i\sqrt{3} }{2}$

this cubic has two complex roots.

Answer from: Quest

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
