Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) = 8x + 2
given: g(x) = 8x + 2 = -62
8x = -62 -2
8x = -64
x = -8
There are several information's that are already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Weight of 4 gallons of gasoline = 25 pounds
Then
Weight of 1 gallon of gasoline = 25/4 pounds
= 6.25 pounds
From the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the unit rate in pounds per gallon of gasoline is 6.25 pounds/gallon. I hope the answer helps you.
Answer:
Whats the directions?
Step-by-step explanation:
The simultaneous equations are
2x - 7y = 4 (1)
3x + y = -17 (2)
Write (2) as
y = - 3x - 17 (3)
Substitute (3) into (1).
2x - 7(-3x - 17) = 4
2x + 21x + 119 = 4
23x = -115
x = -5
This is the equation obtained after substituting y from the second equation into the first equation.
The solution for y is
y = -3(-5) - 17 = -2
Answer: x = -5
Note: The solution is x = -5, y = -2.
