In Exercises 122–133, use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. A truck can be rented from Basic Rental for 50 dollar per day plus 0.20 dollar per mile. Continental charges 20 dollar per day plus 0.50 dollar per mile to rent the same truck. How many miles must be driven in a day to make the rental cost for Basic Rental a better deal than Continental's?
Each side of a square is lengthened by 2 inches. The area of this new, larger square is 36 square inches. Find the length of a side of the original square.
Find all values of \(x\) satisfying the given conditions. $$ y=2 x^{2}-3 x \text { and } y=2 $$
Solve equation by the method of your choice. $$ \sqrt{2} x^{2}+3 x-2 \sqrt{2}=0 $$
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Factor completely: \(x^{3}+x^{2}-4 x-4\).
