If x-5(x-7)=-7 then x equals what?

1 answer:

7 0

Expand

simplify x - 5x + 35 to -4x + 35

subtract 35 from both sides

simplify -7 - 35 to -42

divide both sides by -4

two negatives make a positive

simplify 42/4 to 21/2

Answer: x = 21/2.

A motor vehicle has a maximum efficiency of 39 mpg at a cruising speed of 40 mph. The efficiency drops at a rate of 0.1 mpg/mph

svp [43]

Answer:

38 mpg

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial efficiency = 39 mpg

Initial speed = 40 mph

Final speed = 50 mph

The efficiency drop between 40 mph and 50 mph is given by:

$E_d = 0.1 \frac{mpg}{mph}*\Delta V$

The total efficiency drop from 40 to 50 mph is:

$E_d = 0.1 \frac{mpg}{mph}*(50-40)mph\\E_d = 1\ mpg$

Therefore, the efficiency at 50 mph is:

$E_{50} = E_{40} -E_d\\E_{50} = 39 -1\\E_{50} = 38\ mpg$
