Answer:

1) 28.4 miles per gallon

2) 34 miles per gallon

3) the red car

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

  • <em>Blue car:</em>

<em>Travels 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline</em>

  • <em>Red car:</em>

<em>Travels 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline</em>

<em />

We want to know the unit rate for miles per hour, and to do it we have to divide the miles they travel by the gallons each car uses:

  • Blue car:

(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) = 28.4 miles per gallon

  • Red car:

(27 1/5) / (4/5) = 34 miles per gallon

The red car travels greater distance with 1 gallon of gasoline

Blue car :
(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) =
(71/2) / (5/4) =
71/2 * 4/5 =
142/5 =
28.4 miles per gallon <=== unit rate for blue

red car : 
(27 1/5) / (4/5) =
(136/5) / (4/5) =
136/5 * 5/4 =
136/4 =
34 miles per gallon <=== unit rate for red

so the red car can travel a greater distance on 1 gallon

-2(x - 5) = -14 PLEASEEEEE HELPPPPPP

Okay so you need to start off by using the distributive property, meaning you are going to multiply -2 by both items within the parentheses. this gives you -2x + 10 = -14. from here you want to isolate x, so you’ll subtract both sides by 10 to move it to the other side. this gives you -2x=-24. then you’ll divide both sides by -2 to completely isolate x. this gives you x=12. does that make sense?

Salsk061 [2.6K]
<span>Mr. Wiley earned a commission of $9,200 on a house that sold for $184,000.
</span><span>At this rate, Mr. Wiley's commission be on a house that sells for $250,000 = ?
commission = price of house sold
$9,200 = $184,000 
multiply both sides with $250,000
$9,200 x </span>$250,000 = $184,000 x $250,000
when the price is $250,000, the commission will be;
($9,200 x $250,000) / $184,000 = $250,000
$2300000/$184 = $250,000
$12,500 = $250,000
Thus, the commission is $12,500.
