Complete question :
Each state imposes its own excise tax on gasoline. Suppose, for example, that the state of Massachusetts imposes a state gasoline tax of $0.26 per gallon. Suppose further that an average of 1,022,000 gallons of gasoline per day were sold in Massachusetts in 2010. The average revenue from gasoline tax in 2010 is approximately?
Answer:
$265,720
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
State gasoline tax = $0.26 per gallon
Average number of gasoline sold per day = 1,022,000 gallons
. From the availabke information given :
Revenue generated = gasoline tax per gallon multiplied by the average number of gallons sold
= $0.26 * 1,022,000
= $265,720
Answer:
The solution for y is y = 2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
* <em>Lets explain how to solve an equation for one of the variables</em>
- We need to solve the equation 16x + 9 = 9y - 2 x for y
- That means we want to find y in terms of x and the numerical term
- the equation has two sides, one side contains x and numerical term
and the other side contains y and x
- We need to separate y in one side, and other term in the other side
* <em>Lets do that</em>
∵ 16x + 9 = 9y - 2x
- Add 2x to both sides to cancel -2x from the right side
∴ 16x + 2x + 9 = 9y - 2x + 2x
- Add like terms in each side
∴ 18x + 9 = 9y
- Divide each term by the coefficient of y ⇒ (÷9)
∴ (18 ÷ 9)x + (9 ÷ 9) = (9 ÷ 9)y
∴ 2x + 1 = y
- Switch the two sides
∴ y = 2x + 1
* The solution for y is y = 2x + 1
There are two ways you could go about solving this.
You could divide the length of the base (6mm) by 2 and use that to find the area or you could find the area of the whole triangle using 6mm and divide that by 2.
I will use the first method I described:
base = 6/2
base = 3 mm
height = 5.2 mm
area = bh/2
area = (3 * 5.2)/2
area = 7.8 square mm
(don't forget your units)
Using the other method would look like this:
area = bh/2
b = 6
h = 5.2
area = (6 * 5.2)/2
area = 15.6 square mm
area/2 = 7.8 square mm
As you can see either method yields the same result.
Hope this helped.
Cheers and good luck,
Brian
