We assume the petrol tank was full at the beginning of the journey.

The petrol tank holds x litres.

x - 1/3 x - 2/5 x = 8

15x/15 - 5x/15 - 6x/15 = 8

4x/15 = 8

4x = 120

x = 30

The petrol tank holds 30 litres.

5. CD has an endpoint at (2, -1) and a midpoint at (8,3). Which measure is closest to the length of CD?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for X is

\frac{2+x}{2} =\frac{8}{1}  use proportion to solve

2 + x = 16

x = 14

(14,y)

The equation for Y is

\frac{-1+y}{2} =\frac{3}{1} use proportion to solve

-1 + y = 6

y = 7

(14,7)

now use the distance formula

(14,7) (2,-1)

which gets you 14.4 or C

a cleaning company charges a flat fee of $8 and $30 per hour to clean a home. write an equation that can represent the situation
Andru [333]
In order to reach the total cost of $128, you need to find the number of hours the company cleaned. The equation to do so would be
 
  30x+ 8 = 128

If you subtract 8 from both sides and then divide by 30 you'll find that x=4.

Given f(x) = x^2 + x − 2 and g(x) = 2x − 4, identify (f + g)(x).
shutvik [7]

Answer:

(f + g)(x) = x^2 + 3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = x^2 + x − 2 and g(x) = 2x − 4

Plug in:

(f + g)(x) = x^2 + x − 2 + 2x − 4

(f + g)(x) = x^2 + 3x - 6
