Answer:

The correct option is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances (y), in miles, of two cars from their starting points at certain times (x), in hours, are shown by the equations

Car A:

y=60x+10             ... (1)

Car B:

y=40x+70            .... (2)

Equate equation (1) and (2), to find the hours after which the two cars be at the same distance from their starting point.

60x+10=40x+70

60x-40x=70-10

20x=60

x=3

The value of x is 3. It means after 3 hours two cars be at the same distance from their starting point.

Substitute x=3 in equation (1) to find the distance.

y=60(3)+10

y=180+10=190

The distance is 190 miles.

Therefore option d is correct.

We can simply set the two equations equal to each other:

60x+10=40x+70

We subtract 40x+10 from both sides to get:

20x=60

Divide by 20 to find that x=3.  Substitute this back into either equation to find the amount of miles - using the first, 60*3+10=190, so the answer is D.

A motorcycle can travel 70 miles per gallon. Approximately how many gallons of fuel will the motorcycle need to travel 60 km?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

We have the following given

mileage = 70 miles per gallon

distance = 60 km


Required: amount of fuel in gallons


First, we must convert the distance to miles, so

60 km (1 mi/1.6 km) = 37.5 mi


So, the amount of fuel is

37.5 mi / (70 mi/gal) = 0.54 gallon
