The mileage is 27.6 mi/gal
Miles driven = 552.4 mi

Calculate gallons used.
$gallons = \frac{552.4 \, mi}{27.6 \, mi/gal} = 20.015 \, gal$

Answer: 20.015 gallons (approximately 20 gallons)

Which quadratic equation has roots –2 and 1/5?

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The equation $5x^2\:+\:9x\:-\:2\:=\:0$ has roots –2 and 1/5.

Hence, the option 'a' is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Checking the equation

$5x^2\:+\:9x\:-\:2\:=\:0$

putting x = -2 in the equation

$5\left(-2\right)^2\:+\:9\left(-2\right)-\:2\:=\:0\:$

$2^2\cdot \:\:5-9\cdot \:\:2-2=0$

$2^2\cdot \:5-18-2=0$

$20-20=0$

$0=0$

L.H.S=R.H.S

putting x = 1/5 in the equation

$5\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^2\:+\:9\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)-\:2\:=\:0\:$

$5\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^2+9\cdot \:\frac{1}{5}-2=0$

$\frac{1}{5}+\frac{9}{5}-2=0$

$2-2=0$

$0=0$

L.H.S=R.H.S

As putting x = -2 and x = 1/5 satisfy the equation.

Therefore, the equation $5x^2\:+\:9x\:-\:2\:=\:0$ has roots –2 and 1/5.

Hence, the option 'a' is the correct answer.

Asha and Lucy are selling pencils in a school shop.

Akimi4 [234]

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+22=2(5x+2)

7x+22=10x+4 (-7x)

3x+4=22 (-4)

3X=18 (divide by 3)

X=6 pencils

check if the number is correct

asha= 7*6=42 42+22 is 64

Lucy= 5*6=30 30+2 is 3264/32 is 2

asha= 7*6=42 42+22 is 64Lucy= 5*6=30 30+2 is 3264/32 is 2there fore asha sells twice as many as Lucy

So 3/0.27 = 11.11 (Repeating) so then I rounded this to a whole number,
