Answer:

  (C)  2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations 2a + 7b+2c=16 and 2a + 3b +2c= 8, you want to know the value of b.

<h3>Solution</h3>

The coefficients of 'a' and 'c' are the same in the two equations, so we can eliminate those variables by subtracting one equation from the other. We can keep the resulting coefficient of 'b' positive if we subtract the second equation from the first.

  (2a +7b +2c) -(2a +3b +2c) = (16) -(8)

  4b = 8 . . . . . . . simplify

  b = 2 . . . . . . . divide by 4

The route to an ancient pyramid is 79 miles long.
Nostrana [21]

The route to an ancient pyramid is 79 miles long; if 20 miles is travelled each day for 3 days, the distance travelled in the fourth day would be 19 miles.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let the distance travelled in the first day be 20 miles. If the same time was travelled for 3 days, hence:

3(20) + x = 79

x = 19 miles

The route to an ancient pyramid is 79 miles long; if 20 miles is travelled each day for 3 days, the distance travelled in the fourth day would be 19 miles.

Karl set out to Alaska on his truck. The amount of fuel remaining in the truck's tank (in liters) as a function of distance driv
Stells [14]

Answer:

500 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel (y) Karl has in his car is a function of the distance (x) Karl travelled. The amount of fuel (y) is dependent on the distance (x) Karl travelled.

On the y-axis, we have amount of fuel.

On the x-axis, we have distance travelled.

At the time Karl travelled when he had 200 liters of fuel (y) remaining in his car, he had travelled a distance (x) of 500 kilometers.

We know this by looking at the graph given. When x (distance) = 500, y (fuel) = 200.

I need an explainarion
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of reflection would be at x=3. It’s like a mirror.  The reflection is backward, but the same distance from the line of reflection, so the line needs to be halfway between the two shapes.  Since C is at 4 and C’ is at 2, the line of reflection has to be at 3.
