40 - 16.75 = how much he has

Correct Answer: d ≤ 23.25

16.75 + d ≤ 40 (d stands for dollars. we don't know what number d stands for yet, so we need to figure it out. We know that he can spend no more than $40, so that is why the "≤" sign is there. He can either spend equal to $40 or less than $40 is what the "≤" sign is saying.)

So if the total money Heath can spend is $40 and he's already spent $16.75, then we just find out how much money is left that he can spend.

You have to subtract 16.75 from both sides of the less than or equal to sign (≤). 16.75 minus 16.75 equals zero. 40 minus 16.75 equals 23.25.

So now we have: d ≤ 23.25 . That is the answer.

Sorry that took FOREVER. I had to make sure it was correct.

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of exterior angles = 360

64 + 60 + 69 + 42 + x + x +23 = 360

2x + 258 = 360

2x = 360 - 258

2x = 102

x = 51

ritu can row downstream 20km in 2 hrs and upstream 4km in 2 hrs. find the speed of rowing in still water and the speed of the cu

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Speed of boat in still water is 6km/h

Speed of current is 4km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

We know speed = distance / time

Let the speed of boat in still water be x

Let the speed of current be y

Hence the speed of boat, down stream = $x+y$

Distance downstream = 20km

Time taken = 2 hours

We have

$x+y=\frac{20}{2}$

$x+y=10$ ......(1)

Speed of boat upstream = $x-y$

Distance upstream = 4

Time taken = 2

We have

$x-y=\frac{4}{2}$

$x-y=2$ ...(2)

Adding (1) & (2)

$2x=12$

$x=6$

Substituting in (1) we get

$y=4$

A family is planning a three-week vacation for which they will drive across the country. They have a van that gets 12 miles per

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The family will pay 34722 cents more if they take the van

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Van = 12 miles per gallon

Sedan = 36 miles per gallon

Distance = 2500 miles

Gas = $2.50 per gallon

First, we need to determine the number of gallons that'll be used by both vehicles

This is done by dividing total distance by number of miles per gallon

$Van = \frac{2500}{12} \ gallon$

$Sedan = \frac{2500}{36}\ gallon$

Next, is to multiply this by the cost of gas per gallon;

This gives the total spendable amount on both vehicles

$Van = \frac{2500}{12} * \$2.50$

$Van = \frac{\$6250}{12}$

$Van = \$520.833$

$Sedan = \frac{2500}{36}* \$2.50$

$Sedan = \frac{\$6250}{36}$

$Sedan = \$173.611$

Next is to get the difference between these amounts

$Difference = \$520.833 - \$173.611$

$Difference = \$347.222$

Multiply by 100 to convert to cents

$Difference = 347.222 * 100 cents$

$Difference = 34722.2 \ cents$

$Difference = 34722\ cents$ (Approximated)

Hence;

<em>The family will pay 34722 cents more if they take the van</em>

The number of gallons of water,y, in a swimming pool is modeled by the equation y=7.5x+500,where x represents the time in minute

podryga [215]

Y = 7.5*200 +500
y = 1500 +500
y = 2000

2000 gallons are in the pool 200 minutes after the pump is turned on.
