Answer:

Total Miles he  drives first day      = 8 miles

Total Miles he drive second day   = 12miles

Total Miles he drives third day    =    18miles

Total Miles he drives fourth day    =  27 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of linear equations in 1 variable:

The linear equations in one variable is an equation which is expressed in the form of ax + b = 0, where a and b are two integers, and x is a variable and has only one solution.

It is given in the question that ,

This week his goal is to drive bike about 65 total miles over four days. Each day, he wants to ride 1.5 times as far as he rode the day before.

Let, on the first day, he drives x miles. On second day, he drives 1.5x. On the third day, he drives 1.5(1.5x) and on the fourth day, he drives 1.5(1.5(1.5x)).

So the equation is :

x +1.5x + 1.5(1.5x) + 1.5(1.5(1.5x)) = 65miles

x + 1.5x + 2.25x + 3.375x   = 65miles

            8.125x   =    65 miles

                  x   =  65/8.125  miles

                  x   = 8 miles

so after solving the equation we get, on the first day Gavin drives 8 miles

similarly, on the second day he drives 12miles

               on third day 18 miles

   and     on the fourth day  27miles

1. X3,    15x - 10y = 80   15x - 7y = 51

-17y = 29

2. 8 = 1/60 + a. 8 - 1/60 = 7.98333333333

  6 = 1/80 + b. 6 - 1/80 =  5.9875

Let xij = gallons of component i used in gasoline j. Assume that we have two components and two types of gasoline. There are 8,0
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

option c) x₁₁ + x₁₂ = 8000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

xij = gallons of component i used in gasoline j

gallons of component 1 available = 8,000

demand gasoline types 1 = 11,000

demand gasoline types 2 = 14,000

Here, we have only component 1 available i.e i = 1 only

( therefore, all the options containing i = 2 gets eliminated )

thus,

component 1 will fulfill the demand of gasoline types 1 and 2 i.e j = 1 and 2

hence,

the equation satisfying the above conditions comes out as:

x₁₁ + x₁₂ = 8000

that means gallons of component 1 used in gasoline 1 and 2 and the total equals to the gallons of component 1 available i.e 8000
