Answer:
The answer is x=57
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we would set the number to x.
Then, we turn the words into an equation.
x+75 = 3x-39
Isolate the x.
-2x = -114
So...
x = 57
That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.
If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a
Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b
Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab
The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.
Under Daily flat rate, we would have 22 and 0.15x
Under Cost per mile, we would have 0.15
Under Number of Miles Driven, we would have x
Change the mixed fractions to an improper fraction.
4 5/7 = 32/7
1 6/7 = 13/7
Now you can easily subtract since both fractions have common denominators
32/7 - 13/7
(Think: 32 - 13 = 19)
Change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction
19/7 = 2 5/7
Answer: 2 5/7
