C, D, and E all represent parts of the situation.  

A does not, because x is actually 55 smaller than y, which is why both D and E work.  

B does not because it's doubling the sum of x = y, but the description says to double x and then add y (which is why C works).

X and y are the numbers
y>x

sum (addition) of twice a number (2x) and larger number (y) is (=) 145
2x+y=145

difference between them is 55 (y is bigger so it would be x is subtracted from y)
y-x=55

so the equations are

2x+y=145 and
y-x=55

we could add x to both sides in the 2nd equation to obtain
y=x+55, but that doesn't really represent that the difference is 55, though they are the same euation

so I would say C and D only

lewis has a bucket with a 5 gallon capacity. lewis puts 12 pints of soapy water in the bucket to wash his car. how many gallons
Tasya [4]
12 pints of soapy water.

8 pints = 1 gallon.

1 pint = 1/8 gallon

12 pints = 12*(1/8)

12 pints =  (12/8) gallons

               = 3/2 = 1.5 gallons.

Since the bucket is 5 gallon capacity, It can hold:

5 - 1.5

= 3.5 gallons more.

But 1 gallon is = 4 quarts.

3.5 gallons = 3.5 * 4 = 14 quarts more.

N76 [4]

Answer:

$1343

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be

x= 1580 (1-0.15)

x represents how much he actually pays.

1-0.15=0.85.

1580×0.85=1343

Can a local maximum also be a point of inflection? Explain.
myrzilka [38]
<span>Inflection points are where the function changes concavity. Since concave up corresponds to a positive second derivative and concave down corresponds to a negative second derivative, then when the function changes from concave up to concave down (or vise versa) the second derivative must equal zero at that point. So the second derivative must equal zero to be an inflection point. But don't get excited yet. You have to make sure that the concavity actually changes at that point.</span>
