Question 1207662: If k = (x + 3)/(x - 4) and k^2 - 3k = 28, find x.

I say replace every k with (x + 3)/(x - 4).

I get this:

[(x + 3)/(x - 4)]^2 - 3[(x + 3)/(x - 4)] = 28

Correct?

Question 1181231: Each month ZV Corp (Zebra Vehicles where all paint jobs are striped) makes 230 A vehicles which get 10mpg,500 B vehicles which get 20mpg,and 70 C vehicles which get 40mpg. Unfortunately, the government sets a standard where companies must “average”30mpg[this is called a CAFElaw]. Any company that falls short of the 30mpg standard must pay a penalty. The penalty is calculated as $55times number of vehicles sold each month times the deficit in their average mpg from the 30mpg standard.
V Corp is beginning to make a D vehicle which gets 75mpg. They estimate initially adding 2 D vehicles to their production each month. Compute their new monthly penalty.
