Answer:

The price of one gallon of gasoline is $3.15

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lady buys 2.4 gallons of gasoline for a total of $7.56, then as the problem suggests, one can find the unknown price of gasoline per gallon (p) by solving the equation for the unknown "p":

2.4 p = 7.56

then divide both sides by 2.4 to isolate the unknown "" on one side of the equal sign:

p = 7.56/2.4

p = $3.15

so this is the price per gallon of gasoline.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that x is opposite to the given angle and we are also given the hypotenuse.

Since we have an angle and the side opposite to it and the hypotenuse, we can use the sine ratio. Recall that:

$\displaystyle \sin \theta =\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$

The opposite side is x, the hypotenuse is 15, and the angle is 53. Substitute:

$\displaystyle \sin 53^\circ = \frac{x}{15}$

Solve for x:

$x=15\sin 53^\circ$

Use a calculator (make sure you're in Degrees Mode!). Hence:

$x=11.9795...\approx 12$

Our answer is C.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x + 2y = -2 and goes through the point (6,2)

notka56 [123]

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are inverse reciprocals of each other. That would give you the new slope in your equation. After that plug (6,2) into point slope form and solve to get your final equation.
