The cost of driving a car includes both fixed costs and mileage cost. assume that a costs $176.10 per month for insurance and car payments and $0.25 per mile for gasoline, oil, and routine maintenance. $176.10 per month for insurance and car payments and $0.25 per mile for gasoline, oil, and routine maintenance. (a) find values for m and b so that y=mx+b modells the monthly cost of driving the car x miles (b) what does the value of b represents ?

Y=.25x+176.10 Y is the monthly cost and B would be the cost of the insurance every month. X is the amount of miles driven since the .25 stays constant but the amount of miles you drive in a month is different every month, Hence, needs to be a variable that can be adjusted,

d

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
