558 gallons are used when the car has been driven 18 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data, it can be determined that :

The number of gallons for 2 miles = 62 gallons
The number of gallons for 4 miles = 124 gallons
The number of gallons for 10 miles = 310 gallons

Let, the number of gallons for 18 miles = 'x' gallons

To find x :

compare the given data with the unknown data,

62 gallons / 2 miles = x gallons / 18 miles

keep x alone on one side,

x = (62×18) / 2

x = 31×18

x = 558 gallons

Therefore, 558 gallons are used to drive 18 miles.

Tpy6a [65]

1.06(12.25 + x) = 19.08
12.25 + x = 19.08/1.06 = 18
x = 18 - 12.25 = 5.75

Therefore, the cost of the cat food is $5.75

Jenny wants to rent a truck for one day. She contacted two companies. Laguana’s Truck Rentals charges $20 plus $2 per mile. Salv

Answer:

The total cost will be the same for both companies after 20 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I wrote the equations:

Laguna's Truck Rentals: 2x + 20

Salvatori's truck rentals: 3x

To find when the total cost for both companies will be the same, I kept substituting numbers for the variable until it worked. So, the total cost for both companies will be the same after 20 miles. Hope this helped!

WHAT IS X³-27 SIMPLIFIED

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

It is (x - 3)³ - 9x(3 - x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Express 27 in terms of cubes, 27 = 3³:

$= {x}^{3} - {3}^{3}$

From trinomial expansion:

${(x - y)}^{3} = (x - y)(x - y)(x - y) \\$

open first two brackets to get a quadratic equation:

${(x - y)}^{3} = ( {x}^{2} - 2xy + {y}^{2} )(x - y)$

expand further:

${(x - y)}^{3} = {x}^{3} - y {x}^{2} - 2y {x}^{2} + 2x {y}^{2} + x {y}^{2} - {y}^{3} \\ {(x - y)}^{3} = {x}^{3} - {y}^{3} + 3x {y}^{2} - 3y {x}^{2} \\ {(x - y)}^{3} = {x}^{3} - {y}^{3} + 3xy(y - x) \\ \\ { \boxed{( {x}^{3} - {y}^{3} ) = {(x - y)}^{3} - 3xy(y - x)}}$

take y to be 3, then substitute:

$( {x}^{3} - 3^3) = {(x - 3)}^{3} - 9x(3 - x)$
