Hi!

<h3>You use 240 miles per 8 gallons. </h3>

240/8

<h3>Simplify</h3>

30/1

<h2>You car's gas mileage is 30 miles per gallon. </h2>

Hope this helps! :)

You use 8 gallons of gasoline to drive 240 miles

To solve, divide 240 with 8

240/8 = 30/1

Your car's mileage is 30 miles per gallon

hope this helps

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is 3x-5 degrees. The measure of the corresponding interior angle is 5x+17 degrees

adelina 88 [10]

Things to remember the sum of the measures of the interior and exterior angles at each vertex is 180 (supplementary angles) add and equal to 180 3x-5+5x+17= 180 8x+12=180 8x= 168 x=21 substitute in the algebraic expression for exterior angle 3(21) -5= 63-5=58 58 degrees is the exterior angle hope this helps

How do I answer this question

Gnom [1K]

First you have to make it multiplication so you flip 5/2 around and the two “2’s” will cancel each other so it will be 17/5 or 3 2/5

evan has a job selling magazine and newspaper subscriptions. he earns $23 for each magazine subscription and $54 for each newspa

SashulF [63]

First we write the variables already defined:
m = the number of magazine subscriptions sold
n = the number of newspaper subscriptions sold
We now write the system of inequations based on the following facts:
"he earns $ 23 for each magazine subscription and $ 54 for each newspaper subscription that he sells. his goal is to make more than $ 642 per week"
23m + 54n> 642
"I have expectations to sell at least 10 subscriptions per week"
m + n> = 10
Answer:
A system of inequalities that models the given situation is:
23m + 54n> 642
m + n> = 10

Line ℓ1 has the equation

aleksley [76]

Answer:

$\sqrt{2}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

The Line 1 has equation x + y = 5 ....... (1) , and

Line 2 has equation x + y = 3 .......... (2)

Now, we have to find the perpendicular distance between line 1 and line 2.

We can say that (3,0) is a point on line 2 as it satisfies the equation (2).

Now, the perpendicular distance from point (3,0) to the line 1 will be given by the formula

$\frac{|3 + 0 - 5|}{\sqrt{1^{2}+ 1^{2}}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}$ units (Answer)

We know that the perpendicular distance from any external point ( $x_{1},y_{1}$ ) to a given straight line ax + by + c = 0 is given by the formula $\frac{|ax_{1} + by_{1} + c|}{\sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2}}}$ .
