Answer:
A) 
gallons
B) Distance between Town A and Town B is 
miles
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
We know, number of gallons = 
if miles per gallon (mpg) is given as 24 & total distance travelled is 3x miles, then, using formula we have:
Number of Gallons = 
B)
Now, given is number of gallons = 2y & we know mpg is 24; <em>so what is the distance?</em>
We use the same formula and solve for distance (let distance between A and B be "D"):
Answer:
-20x / (x-12) = y
Step-by-step explanation:
3/x - 5/y = 1/4
Multiply each side by 4xy to clear the fractions
4xy ( 3/x - 5/y = 1/4)
Distribute
12y - 20x = xy
Subtract 12y from each side
-20x = xy -12y
Factor out y
-20x = y(x-12)
Divide each side by (x-12)
-20x / (x-12) = y
Answer:
Trevon received
$
12
for cleaning the attic.
Explanation:
Since Trevon had
29
on Friday and
41
now after cleaning the attic over the weekend, the amount he received,
x
, can be determined by the equation:
x
=
41
−
29
x
=
12
When triangles are similar, ratios of corresponding side lengths are the same. The side lengths you know are CD, DU, VW, WU. (You also know CU, but you do not know the corresponding length VU.)
The ratios can be formed in any convenient way, but it is already clear that the triangles are not similar. CD = 73 is a prime number, and neither DU nor VW is a multiple of that. For example, ...
... CD/VW = 73/84 ≠ 48/55 = DU/WU
