So if boys is 6 and girls is 15 it would be 6/15, but that can be simplified to 2/5.
The cost is £79.76. Since the car covers 560 miles and 34.5 miles is travelled by one gallon. So, dividing 560 by 34.5 we get 16.23. Since 1 gallon is 4.55 litres, 16.23 gallons is 73.8465. Now the cost of petrol is £1.08 per litre. So, multiplying 73.8465 by £1.08 we have £79.76
Answer:
x=7, -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-5x=14
x^2-5x-14=0
factor out the trinomial,
(x-7)(x+2)=0
zero property,
x-7=0, x+2=0,
x=0+7=7,
x=0-2=-2
