Answer:

<h2>14mph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the gas mileage for a certain vehicle modeled by the equation m=−0.05x²+3.5x−49 where x is the speed of the vehicle in mph. In order to determine the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg, we will substitute the value of m = 9 into the modeled equation and calculate x as shown;

m = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

when m= 9

9 = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

−0.05x²+3.5x−49 = 9

0.05x²-3.5x+49 = -9

Multiplying through by 100

5x²+350x−4900 = 900

Dividing through by 5;

x²+70x−980 = 180

x²+70x−980 - 180 = 0

x²+70x−1160 = 0

Using the general formula to get x;

a = 1, b = 70, c = -1160

x = -70±√70²-4(1)(-1160)/2

x = -70±√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±(√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±√9540/2

x =  -70±97.7/2

x = -70+97.7/2

x = 27.7/2

x = 13.85mph

x ≈ 14 mph

Hence, the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg to the nearest mph is 14mph

Find x and y<br><br> helppppp !!
Anni [7]

3x + 6 = 48 (alternate angles are equal)

- 6

3x. = 42

÷3

x = 14 degrees

180-48 - 2y + 5y-9 =180

123 + 3y = 180

-123

3y = 57

÷3

y = 19 degrees

Explanation:

To find the last angle on the top straight line, do:

180 - (the 2 given angles).

So, 180 - (3x + 16, which is 48 due to alternate angles being equal). Then, minus the 2y.

(180 - 48 - 2y) & simplify => 132 - 2y

This gives you the equation for the missing angle on our top straight line.

Thus, co-interior angles add to 180. So, we add the new equation (132 - 2y) to 5y - 9.

Simplify

=> 123 + 3y (because - 2+5 =3)

and put it equal to 180. Solve for y

Hope this helps!
