Answer: the old price for 1 liter is $0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the old price for 1 liter of petrol.

Last week a man bought 20 liters at the old price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 20 liters is 20x.

The cost of petrol rises by 2 cents a liter. This means that the new price per liter is x + 2/100 = x + 0.02

This week he bought 10 liters at the new price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 10 liters is

10(x + 0.02)

= 10x + 0.2

Altogether, the petrol costs $9.20. This means that

20x + 10x + 0.2 = 9.2

30x + 0.2 = 9.2

30x = 9.2 - 0.2

30x = 9

x = 9/30

x = 0.3

If a 4 x 16 rectangle has the same area as a square, what is the length of a side of the square?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Option D. 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of rectangle

The area of rectangle is

A=(4)(16)=64\ units^2

step 2

Find the length side of the square with the same area of rectangle

The area of a square is

A=b^2

where

b is the length side of the square

we have

A=64\ units^2

substitute

64=b^2

take the square root both sides

b=8\ units

therefore

The length side of the square is 8 units

Which table represents a linear function?
mart [117]
Well, a linear function is proportional, a straight line (on a graph). And the numbers must not have the same answer. For instance, if the X input is 5, and the Y output is 7. And then another X input is 5, and the Y output is 8, that's non-linear.

So, the Answer would be the third graph. This is because the X values are steadily increasing, and so are the Y values. 

For the X and Y values, for each time X increases by 1, Y increases by -8. This is, linear because both sides are constantly and evenly increasing.
