Answer:

B.   Yes, this is direct variation. Time is the independent variable, and miles driven is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a direct variation, when the independent variable increase the dependent variable also increases. In this case, the independent variable is the time (time is always independent) and the miles driven by Steve is the dependent variable. This means, the miles driven increase as time pass.

Answer:

p = 39       f = 44    

Step-by-step explanation:

p = $ 1.73

f = $ 1.44

p + f = 83

1.73 p + 1.44 (83 - p) = $ 130.83

Help me plssss <br> its for a math test and im braindead atm
Gwar [14]

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 + 1/4

To add these fractions, you need a lowest common denominator.  Both 4 and 8 "go into" 8, so the lowest common denominator is 8.

In order to change the denominator 4 to 8, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2.  So, 1/4 becomes 2/8.

Now, the problem is 3/8 + 2/8.  

You can add the numerators, because the denominator is the same for each fraction.

3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8

-4(x+1)+5=17 solve for x
ahrayia [7]

-4(x + 1) + 5 = 17

Distribute -4 inside the parentheses.

(-4x - 4) + 5 = 17

Combine like terms (-4 + 5).

-4x + 1 = 17

Subtract 1 from both sides.

-4x = 16

Divide both sides by -4.

x = -4
