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.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the inequality?<br><br> Help please!!
Murrr4er [49]

Choice A is the answer which is the point (1,-1)

=========================================

How I got this answer:

Plug each point into the inequality. If you get a true statement after simplifying, then that point is in the solution set and therefore a solution. Otherwise, it's not a solution.

-------------

checking choice A

plug in (x,y) = (1,-1)

y - 2x \le -3

-1 - 2(1) \le -3

-3 \le -3

This is true because -3 is equal to itself. So this is the answer.

-------------

checking choice B

plug in (x,y) = (2,4)

y - 2x \le -3

4 - 2(2) \le -3

0 \le -3

This is false because 0 is not to the left of -3, nor is 0 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.

-------------

checking choice C

plug in (x,y) = (-2,3)

y - 2x \le -3

3 - 2(-2) \le -3

7 \le -3

This is false because 7 is not to the left of -3, nor is 7 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.

-------------

checking choice D

plug in (x,y) = (3,4)

y - 2x \le -3

4 - 2(3) \le -3

-2 \le -3

This is false because -2 is not to the left of -3, nor is -2 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.

Mention the commutativity associative and distributive properties of rational number
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Associative property: a + (b + c), a – (b – c) ≠ (a – b) – c, a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c, and a ÷ (b ÷ c) ≠ (a ÷ b) ÷ c

When a = ½ and b = ¾

Now, for checking a × b = b × a, consider LHS and RHS.

LHS = a × b = ½ × ¾ = ⅜

RHS = b × a = ¾ × ½ = ⅜

Thus, LHS = RHS (Hence proved)
