Complete question is;

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 40 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1850 miles, for a total gas consumption of 50 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?

Answer:

Car 1 consumed 30 gallons of gas.

Car 2 consumed 20 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be number gallons consumed by car 1

Let y be number of gallons consumed by car 2

We are told that total gas consumption of 50 gallons. Thus;

x + y = 50 - - - - - eq(1)

We are told that the first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 40 miles per gallon of gas and they went a combined total of 1850 miles. Thus;

35x + 40y = 1850 - - - - eq2

Let's make y the subject in eq(1),

y = 50 - x - - - - eq(3)

Putting 50 - x for y in eq 2 gives;

35x + 40(50-x) = 1850

35x + 2000 - 40x = 1850

-5x + 2000 = 1850

-5x = -150

x = 150/5

x = 30 gallons

Substitute 30 for x into eq 3,we have;

y = 50 - 30

y = 20 gallons

Thus;

Car 1 consumed 30 gallons of gas.

Car 2 consumed 20 gallons of gas.

a cat and dog shelter houses 23 animals there are 5 more cats x and dogs y write and solve a system of linear equations to find
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

There would be 14 cats and 9 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the amount of cats and dogs, we need to set up the system of equations. To do so, start by setting cats as x and dogs as y. Now we can write the first equation to show the total number of animals.

cats + dogs = 23

x + y = 23

Now we can write a second one that shows the difference in the number of cats and dogs.

cats - dogs = 5

x - y = 5

Now we can add the two equations together to solve for x.

x + y = 23

x - y = 5

2x = 28

x = 14

Now that we have the number of cats, we can find the number of dogs by using either equation.

x + y = 23

14 + y = 23

y = 9

I’m really bad at proofs like really bad can someone help with 20 and 21
Nina [5.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

20.

In each proof, start by looking at what you're trying to prove.  We want to prove that two triangles are congruent.  To do that we use one of the following: SSS, SAS, ASA, or AAS.

To decide which one to use, look at the information given.  We're given two pairs of congruent sides, so we can narrow the strategy down to either SSS or SAS.  We aren't told anything about the third pair of sides, but we <em>can</em> see that ∠JNK and ∠MNL are vertical angles.  We'll use this to show the triangles are congruent by SAS.

1. JN ≅ MN, Given

2. ∠JNK ≅ ∠MNL, Vertical angles

3. NK ≅ NL, Given

4. ΔJNK ≅ ΔMNL, SAS

21.

Repeat the same steps as 20.  Again, we're trying to prove two triangles are congruent, so we have 4 strategies to choose from.  Just like before, we're given two pairs of congruent sides, so we'll use either SSS or SAS.  And again, we aren't told anything about the third pair of sides, but we can see that both triangles are right triangles.  So we'll use SAS again.

1. MN ≅ PQ, Given

2. ∠LMN ≅ ∠NQP, Right angles are congruent

3. LM ≅ NQ, Given

4. ΔNML ≅ ΔPQN, SAS

X-y=1 <br> X+y=3 Elimination
Mila [183]
X-y=1
x+y=3
You see the y's can cancel out. So add it together and you have:
2x=4
x=2
Now that you have x, plug it in to one of the equations to find y.
I will plug it into the first one.
(2)-y=1
-y=-1
y=1

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Yes, Students are scoring above 2222 on the math portion of the​ exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a college entrance exam company determined that a score of 2222 on the mathematics portion of the exam suggests that a student is ready for​ college-level mathematics i.e., population mean is 22.

Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = 22 {Students are scoring equal to 2222 on the math portion of the​ exam}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu > 22 {Students are scoring above 2222 on the math portion of the​ exam}

Also, a random sample of 150 students who completed this core set of courses results in a mean math score of 22.7 on the college entrance exam with a standard deviation of 3.93 i.e.;

Sample mean, Xbar = 22.7    and Sample standard deviation, s = 3.93

The Test statistics is given by;

                            Z = \frac{Xbar -\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

Test Statistics = \frac{22.7 -22}{\frac{3.93}{\sqrt{150} } } ~ t_1_4_9

                        = 2.1815

Since, we are not given with the significance level, so we assume it to be 5%. At 5% significance level t table gives critical value of 1.6578 at 149 degree of freedom. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value so we reject null hypothesis as our test statistics fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that Students are scoring above 2222 on the math portion of the​ exam.
