Answer:
y - x = - 2 b
Step-by-step explanation:
Given-
3 x + 2 y = 5 a + b...................(i)
4 x - 3 y = a + 7 b.....................(ii)
<em><u>Multiply by 3 and 2 in equation (i) & (ii) respectively-</u></em>
<em><u>Add equation (iii) & (iv)-</u></em>
9 x + 6 y = 15 a + 3 a...................(iii)
<u>8 x - 6 y = 2 a + 14 b</u> ...................(iv)
17 x = 17 a + 17 b
<u>x = a + b</u>
Put x = a + b in equation (i)-
<em>2 y = 5 a + b - 3 a - 3 b</em>
<em>2 y = 2 a - 2 b</em>
<u>y = a - b </u>
<em>∴ y - x = a - b - ( a + b )</em>
<em>y - x = a - b - a - b</em>
y - x = - 2 b
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:

The total efficiency drop from 40 to 50 mph is:

Therefore, the efficiency at 50 mph is:

Answer:
N = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form:

m - slope
x₁, y₁ - the coordinates of a point
It passes through the points (1,-2) and (2,2).
