The distributive property: a(b +/- c) = ab +/- ac
987 · 6 = 6 · 987 = 6 · (100 - 13) = 6 · 1000 - 6 · 13 = 6000 - 78 = 5922
Answer: the efficiency of the first car is 25 miles per gallon.
the efficiency of the second car is 30 miles per gallon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the efficiency of the first car.
Let y represent the efficiency of the second car.
Distance = car efficiency × number of gallons.
The first car consume 25 gallons of gas and the second consumed 15 gallons of gas. The two cars Drove a combined total of 1075 miles. It means that
25x + 15y = 1075- - - - - - - - - - -1
The sum of the fuel efficiencies was 55 miles per gallon. It means that
x + y = 55
Substituting x = 55 - y into equation 1, it becomes
25(55 - y) + 15y = 1075
1375 - 25y + 15y = 1075
- 25y + 15y = 1075 - 1375
- 10y = - 300
y = - 300/-10
y = 30
x = 55 - y = 55 - 30
x = 25
Answer:
z
Step-by-step explanation:
z
Answer:
y = -1/2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the slope formula: y = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1), we can determine that the slope is -1/2. There is only one answer with the slope of -1/2, but to check that it's right, we can plug in one of the points to see that y = -1/2x + 1 works.
A: the formula would be f(x) = P(R) ^T or f(x) = Principle(rate)^time
B: f(x) = 20,000(0.85)^5
C: = 8,874.10625
D: Yes, the final answer makes sense compared to the origional cost of the car in relation to the formula. As well, time decreases the value of a car, so for the cost to be so low only makes sense due to the cars decrease in value or an extended and elongated amount of time.
E: You can solve this equation graphically by plotting th point at 20,000 and then taking 85% of 20,000 and plotting it each time until you get to the fifth year.
