410/20=20.5
1 gallon=20.5 miles
18 gallons=20.5x18
=369 miles

Let's set up a ratio. 410 / 20 should be equal to x / 18, right? So the rate of miles per gallon in the first one is 20.5 miles per gallon. So therefore, when you have 18 gallons, that would be 20.5 * 18 which is 369.

If this helped please rate, thank, and give brainliest answer!

Erik and Caleb were trying to solve the equation: 0=(3x+2)(x-4) Erik said, "The right-hand side is factored, so I'll use the zer

Mumz [18]

Answer:

C) Both

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

$0=(3x+2)(x-4)$

To solve the given equation, we can use the Zero Product Property according to which if the product A.B = 0, then either A = 0 OR B = 0.

Using this property:

$(3x+2) = 0 \Rightarrow \bold{x = -\frac{2}{3}}\\(x-4) = 0 \Rightarrow \bold{x = 4}$

So, Erik's solution strategy would work.

Now, let us discuss about Caleb's solution strategy:

Multiply $(3x+2)(x-4)$ i.e. $3x^2-12x+2x-8$ = $3x^2-10x-8$

So, the equation becomes:

$0=3x^2-10x-8$

Comparing this equation to standard quadratic equation:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

a = 3, b = -10, c = -8

So, this can be solved using the quadratic formula.

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{(-10)^2-4\times3 \times (-8)}}{2\times 3}\\x=\dfrac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{196}}{6}\\x=\dfrac{10\pm14}{6} \\\Rightarrow x= 4, -\dfrac{2}{3}$

The answer is same from both the approaches.

So, the correct answer is:

C) Both

What shape is created by the rotation and what is the

Answer:

Option D: A cylinder with a circumference of about 50 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is the attached figure.

The square shown has a perimeter of 32 units. The square is rotated about line k. What shape is created by the rotation and what is the approximate circumference of the base? Circumference of a circle: C = 2πr

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

Given: the perimeter of the square = 32

perimeter of a square is four times the length of its side

So, the side length of square = 32/4 = 8 units

The square is rotated about line k.

So, it will form a cylinder with radius 8 units.

Circumference of a circle = 2 π r

Where, r is the radius of the circle.

Circumference of the base is C = 2 π * 8

∴ C = 16π = 16 * 3.14

∴ C = 50.26548 ≈ 50

The shape is created by the rotation is a cylinder with a circumference of about 50 units.
