Answer:

95 city and 175 highway miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The driver gets 20 mpg in city, and 28 mpg on the highway.

An equation that could be written is

20x+28y=270

This equation accounts for the distance traveled.

x+y=11

This equotion accounts for how many gallons were driven.

Multiply the bottom equation by 20, so you can solve the set of equations.

20x+28y=270

20x+20y=220

subtract them

8y=50

y=6.25

now plug this back into x+y=11

x+6.25=11

x=4.75

Now 4.75×20=95 city miles and 6.25×28=175 highway miles.

You usually buy a 16.5-ounce bottle of shampoo. There is a new bottle that says it gives you 30% more free.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30

Hopefully, this is your desired setup. (I noticed the formula you have to fill in there.)

Have a good day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi.

You could use the percent change formula.

Since we know it is a percent increase then we will do new-old instead of old-new:

\frac{\text{new}-\text{old}}{\old}

x is the new amount of shampoo.

16.5 is the original amount (old) of shampoo.

The percent increase is 30%=0.30 .

So we have the following equation:

\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30

We could have found the equation like this:

16.5+16.5(0.30)=x

Subtract 16.5 on both sides:

16.5(0.30)=x-16.5

Divide both sides by 16.5:

0.30=\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}

By us of symmetric property of equality:

\frac{x-16.5}{16.5}=0.30

Part 1
svetlana [45]

Answer:

A: This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two or fewer roots.

B: The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 12x^2 + 5x - 2.

Since this is a quadratic equation, or a polynomial of second degree, one can easily conclude that this equation will have at most 2 roots. At most 2 roots mean that the function can have either 2 roots at maximum or less than 2 roots. Therefore, in the A category, 2nd option is the correct answer (This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0 has two or fewer roots).

To find the roots of f(x), set f(x) = 0. Therefore:

12x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Solving the question using the mid term breaking method shows that 12*2=24. The factors of 24 whose difference is 5 are 8 and 3. Therefore:

12x^2 + 8x - 3x - 2 = 0.

4x(3x + 2) -1(3x+2) = 0.

(4x-1)(3x+2) = 0.

4x-1 = 0 or 3x+2 = 0.

x = 1/4 or x = -2/3.

It can be seen that f(x) has two distinct real roots. Therefore, in the B category, 1st Option is the correct answer (The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots)!!!

What is the equation of a line that passes through point R(3,7) and has a slope of 6?
djyliett [7]
The answer in slope intercept form is y = 6x-11

If you want the answer in standard form, then it would be 6x-y =11

notes:
* Slope intercept form is y = mx+b
* Standard form is Ax+By = C
=====================================

Explanation:

The given slope is m = 6
The line goes through (x,y) = (3,7)

Plug those three values into the equation below. Isolate b
y = mx+b
7 = 6*3+b
7 = 18+b
7-18 = 18+b-18 ... subtract 18 from both sides
-11 = b
b = -11

So because m = 6 and b = -11, this means y = mx+b turns into y = 6x-11

The answer in slope intercept form is y = 6x-11

To convert to standard form Ax+By = C, we just have to get all the x and y terms together on the same side. I'm going to move the y term to the right side and move the 11 to the left side

y = 6x-11
y+11 = 6x-11+11
y+11 = 6x
y+11-y = 6x-y
11 = 6x-y
6x-y = 11

The answer in standard form is 
6x-y = 11
which is a different way to write the same line
