Cost to cross the bridge(one-way): Truck (2 or 3 axles): $3.00 Truck (4 or 5 axles): $6.25 Truck (6 or more axles): $10.00. One morning, 3 trucks, each with 5 axles, and 1 truck with 8 axles, crossed the bridge in one direction. write a math problem and solve it to answer. HOW MUCH WAS THE TOLL FOR THE CROSSING OF THE BRIDGE.

Truck (2 or 3 axles): $3.00

Truck (4 or 5 axles): $6.25

Truck (6 or more axles): $10.00

Day1= 3 trucks with 5 axles and 1 truck with 8 axles passed the bridge

What we need to find:

Part a: an expression that represents the first passing of the 4 trucks and

a solution to the the first expression

Part b: a modification of first expression that includes the return passing of the 4 trucks and a solution for the trucks passing both times.

Part a:

3(6.25)+1(10.00)

3(6.25)+1(10.00)=$28.75

Part b:

2[3(6.25)+1(10.00)]

2[3(6.25)+1(10.00)]=2[28.75]=$57.50

sorry

Step-by-step explanation:

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
