If i am reading this question correctly it states "How many math assignments can he complete in 8 hours" leaving out the science assignments because it states he'd do them tomorrow its simple math. 8 divided by 2 which is 4 math assignments he can complete in 8 hours.

Answer: 4 exercises.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Gerald has 8 hours to complete a set of assignments if x is the number of math assignments and y is the number of physics assignments, we need to solve the equation:

2x + y = 8

Now, we know that Gerald decides to leave the science assignments for the next day, so on this first day we do not have physics assignments, which implies that y = 0

So now we have the equation 2x = 8

x = 8/2 = 4

x = 4

So we the maximum number that Gerald can complete in 8 hours is equal to 4 (in the situation in which he left the science assignments for the other day)

X + y = 10
x - y = 6
---------------add
2x = 16
x = 16/2
x = 8

x - y = 6
8 - y = 6
-y = 6 - 8
-y = -2
y = 2

number 82......factors of 82 are 1,2,4,82...so there are 4 factors

so ur number is 82 <==

Doss [256]

Solution:

The first car can travel 75 miles on 5 gallons of gas.

So  per mile gas consumed by car=\frac{5}{75}=\frac{1}{15} gallon

The second car can travel 240 miles on 20 gallons of gas.

So  per mile gas consumed by car=\frac{20}{240}=\frac{1}{12} gallon

It mean Sam should rent the First car.

Sam is renting one of two cars to go on a 300-mile trip.

So total number of gallons of gas required=\frac{1}{15}*300=20

Total cost of 20 gallons of gas =\frac{49.42}{14}*20= 70.6 dollar
