For part A, The answer is that the car gets better gas mileage. We can see it from the graph that the number of gallons used is on the X axis, and the distance traveled using those number of gallons is on the Y axis. The easiest way to compare would be to look at the 1 gallon of gas. You can see that you can travel 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. The truck on the other hand will get you 18 miles per gallon. Imagine putting 1 in for X, the Y value would be 18 if you did this. The graph just shows us a visual way of saying the same thing. To determine how much farther the car with a girl on 8 gallons of gas, you would just multiply 8 by 25 for the number of miles traveled by the car. You would multiply 8 by 18 to find the number of miles traveled for the truck. The answers are 200 miles for the car and 144 miles for the truck. 200-144=56 miles farther for the car.
The slope of this line is -1 because it goes down one and to the right one
Answer:
M∠DEC equals 123º.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of a triangle's three angles always equal 180º. The exterior angle, x, equals the two non-adjacent interior angles.
180 - {(x - 45)+(x - 12)} = m∠DEC
m∠DEC + x = 180
<u>(x - 45) + (x - 12) = x</u>
Solving for x:
(x - 45) + (x - 12) = x
x - 45 + x - 12 = x Remove parenthesis
2x - 57 = x Combine like terms
2x = x + 57 Add 57 to both sides
<u>x = 57</u><u> Subtract x from both sides</u>
Finding m∠D:
x - 45 = ?
<u>57 - 45 = </u><u>12º </u>
Finding m∠C:
x - 12 = ?
<u>57 - 12 = </u><u>45º </u>
<em>** </em><em>(Checking x: 12 + 45 = 57) </em><em>**</em>
<em>Finding </em>m∠DEC:
AC is a straight line, and because straight lines are equivalent to 180º, we subtract 57 from 180:
180 - 57 = 123º

Logically, he would owe 14 less each week
Let x = # of weeks passed
Algebraic Expression: 141 - 14x =
Week 1: 141 - 14 = 127
Week 2: 141 - 14(2) = 113
Week 3: 141 - 14(3) = 99
etc.....
Hope this helps
