A + b + c = 168
b = 1/3c
a = b + c....a = 1/3c + c = 4/3c

now we sub
4/3c + 1/3c + c = 168
8/3c = 168
c = 168 * 3/8
c = 504/8
c = 63 <=== Carlos collected 63 lbs

a = 4/3c
a = 4/3(63)
a = 252/3
a = 84 <== Amy collected 84 lbs

b = 1/3c
b = 1/3(63)
b = 63/3 <== Bruce collected 21 lbs
b = 21

IgorLugansk [536]

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

Solve equation (n-1)(n+6)(n+5)=0
Vika [28.1K]
Answer:
1, -6 and -5 

Explanation:
To solve the equation means to get the values of n which satisfy the given equation.
The equation given is:
(n-1) (n+6) (n+5) = 0
This equation will be true if any of the terms (brackets) is equal to zero.
This means that:
either n-1 = 0 .............> n = 1
or n + 6 = 0 ................> n = -6
or n + 5 = 0 ................> n = -5

Hope this helps :)
