If the lady buys 2.4 gallons of gasoline for a total of $7.56, then as the problem suggests, one can find the unknown price of gasoline per gallon (p) by solving the equation for the unknown "p":

2.4 p = 7.56

then divide both sides by 2.4 to isolate the unknown "" on one side of the equal sign:

p = 7.56/2.4

p = $3.15

so this is the price per gallon of gasoline.

) Find the coordinates of the point A' which is the symmetric point

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Let, coordinate of point A' is (x,y).

Since, A' is the symmetric point A(3, 2) with respect to the line 2x + y - 12 = 0.

So, slope of line containing A and A' will be perpendicular to the line 2x + y - 12 = 0 and also their center lies in the line too.

Now, their center is given by :

$C( \dfrac{x+3}{2}, \dfrac{y+2}{2})$

Also, product of slope will be -1 .( Since, they are parallel )

$\dfrac{y-2}{x-3} \times -2 = -1\\\\2y - 4 = x - 3\\\\2y - x = 1$

x = 2y - 1

So, $C( \dfrac{2y -1 +3}{2}, \dfrac{y+2}{2})\\\\C( \dfrac{2y + 2}{2}, \dfrac{y+2}{2})$

Also, C satisfy given line :

$2\times ( \dfrac{2y + 2}{2}) + \dfrac{y+2}{2} = 12\\\\4y + 4 + y + 2 = 24\\\\5y = 18\\\\y = \dfrac{18}{5}$

Also,

$x = 2\times \dfrac{18}{5 } - 1\\\\x = \dfrac{31}{5}$

Therefore, the symmetric points is $A'(\dfrac{31}{5}, \dfrac{18}{5})$ .

How many watts is 30 kilowatts in 24hrs

Nady [450]

30,00 watts.
Think of the metric system like this: K H D B D C M
Now. you have kilo at the begining and milli at the end. To transition from left to right you multiply by 10 each time. To transition from right to left, you divide by 10 each time.
