x = the number of miles
y = the total cost
Company A:
0.60x + 60 = y [Company A charges $60 plus $0.60 per mile(x)]
Company B:
0.90x + 30 = y [Company B charges $30 plus $0.90 per mile(x)]
To find the number of miles where the costs for both companies are the same, you can set the equations equal to each other as the costs(y) are the same:
y = y Substitute the equations into "y" (substitute (0.60x + 60) and (0.90x + 30) into "y" since y = 0.60x + 60 and y = 0.90x + 30)
0.60x + 60 = 0.90x + 30 To find x, isolate/get the variable "x" by itself. Subtract 30 on both sides
0.60x + 60 - 30 = 0.90x + 30 - 30
0.60x + 30 = 0.90x Subtract 0.60x on both sides to get "x" on one side of the equation
0.60x - 0.60x + 30 = 0.90x - 0.60x
30 = 0.30x Divide 0.30 on both sides to get "x" by itself
100 = x 100 miles
(if you need to find out the cost where both companies cost the same, you can substitute/plug in the value of x into one of the equations.)
0.60x + 60 = y Plug in 100 into "x" since x = 100
0.60(100) + 60 = y
120 = y At 100 miles, both companies cost $120
Answer:
y-intercept: (0, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
This parabola has an equation of -x² + 4x + 5.
It's y-intercept is (0, 5).
It's x-intercepts or roots are (-1, 0) and (5, 0).
It's vertex is (2, 9).
___________________________________
Keep in mind that the y-intercept is when x = 0.

Answer:
6/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is given by ...
slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
slope = (13 -7)/(4 -2) = 6/2
__
The value of the slope can be simplified to ...
slope = 3
Answer:
x= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. In order to find the zeros of the function, we must factor it.
Step 2. To factor this, we have to find two numbers that multiply to 4 and add to 4 which is 2 ( 2*2=4 and 2+2=4)
step 3. 0=(x+2)(x+2)
Step 4 make (x+2) equal to zero and solve which gives us -2, so -2 =x.
