Question

David's company reimburses his expenses on food, lodging, and conveyance during business trips. The company pays $60 a day for food and lodging and $0.65 for each mile traveled. David drove 600 miles and was reimbursed $3,390.

Part A: Create an equation that will determine the number of days x on the trip. (3 points)

Part B: Solve this equation justifying each step with an algebraic property of equality. (6 points)

Part C: How many days did David spend on this trip? (1 point)

Answer 1

Total Back = Food + Lodging + traveling distance

Answer 2

$3390 = 0.65*600 + 60*x ?

Answer 3

looks good

Answer 4

for part a?

Answer 5

alrght

Answer 6

what about part b?

Answer 7

Looks like you have to explain every step you do to isolate x on one side

Answer 9

would that be good to submit?

Answer 10

umm..

Answer 11

flip equation, make a not of the symmetric property a = b then b = a

Answer 12

**note

Answer 13

So what would i say?

Answer 14

I would not use subtraction or division, they are just a fancy word for addition and multiplication

Answer 15

--'Subtract 390 from both sides'

i would put 'ADDITION Property of (-6) to both sides'

Answer 16

no need to put simplified , you just took care of the non alebra numbers

Answer 17

ok, now its good to submit?

Answer 18

---Instead of divide by 60

I would put ; Multiplication property of Equality" multiplied by 1/60

Answer 19

that it??

Answer 20

i think so

Answer 21

less you want to state each property after you name it, like IF a = b, then c*a = c*b , where c=(1/60) for the multiplication property step
