The length of hours Gilbert drove is 7.5 hours.

The length of hours Brian drove is 4.1 hours.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • Gilbert averaged = 45 miles per hour
  • Brain averaged = 65 miles per hour
  • Total hours = 11.6 hours
  • Total distance = 604 miles

Let 'x' be the hours Gilbert drove.

Let 'y' be the hours Brian drove.

x+y = 11.6  -----(1)

45x+65y = 604 -----(2)

Multiply (1) by 45 and subtract (2) from (1)

 45x+45y = 522

-(<u>45x+65y = 604</u>)

 <u>      -20y = -82 </u>

y = 82/20

y = 4.1 hours

The length of hours Brian drove = 4.1 hours

Substitute y=4.1 in (1)

x+4.1 = 11.6

x = 7.5 hours

The length of hours Gilbert drove = 7.5 hours

The graph of a linear function has a slope of 5, and it passes through the point (–7, 5). What is the value of the dependent var
AlladinOne [14]

If we would have assigned a different value for x, the equation would have given us another value for y. We could instead have assigned a value for y and solved the equation to find the matching value of x.

In our equation y=x+7, we have two variables, x and y. The variable which we assign the value we call the independent variable, and the other variable is the dependent variable, since it value depends on the independent variable. In our example above, x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.

A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x. A function assigns exactly one output to each input of a specified type.

It is common to name a function either f(x) or g(x) instead of y. f(2) means that we should find the value of our function when x equals 2.

Answer: 1.8

Step-by-step explanation: I’m not entirely sure about this, but it probably is 1.8 because I don’t think the slant would change the volume, though I may be wrong

Emily has the following grades in his math class: Homework grades: 80, 100, 90, Quiz grades: 84, 90, 72, Test grades: 64,
Bess [88]

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Homework mean x 10%: (80+100+90)/3 x 0.1 = 90 x 0.1 = 9

Quiz mean x 25%: (84+90+72)/3 x 0.25 = 20.5

Test mean x 45%: (64+72)/2 x 0.45 = 30.6

Sum of means/percentage of grade: 9 + 20.5 + 30.6 = 60.1/.8 = 75.125
