Let

x-----> the time in minutes

y------> the number of gallons of water

we know that

the unit rates is equal to

$\frac{y}{x} = \frac{42}{10}=4.2\frac{gal}{min}$

the unit rate is equal to the slope of the linear equation

then

$y=4.2x$

Problem

1) How many gallons of water will Elyse use in three minutes in the shower?

For x=3 minutes

substitute in the equation above

$y=4.2x$

$y=4.2*3$

$y=12.6 gal$

the answer is

12.6 gal

What is the solution set for 2x+5y>-1 and 4x-3<-3?

bekas [8.4K]

PROBLEM ONE

•

Solving for x in 2x + 5y > -1.

•

Step 1 ) Subtract 5y from both sides.

2x + 5y > -1

2x + 5y - 5y > -1 - 5y

2x > -1 - 5y

Step 2 ) Divide both sides by 2.

2x > -1 - 5y

$\displaystyle\frac{2x}{2} > \displaystyle\frac{-1 - 5y}{2}$

$\displaystyle\ x > \frac{-1 - 5y}{2}$

So, the solution for x in 2x + 5y > -1 is...

$\displaystyle\ x > \frac{-1 - 5y}{2}$

•

Solving for y in 2x + 5y > -1.

•

Step 1 ) Subtract 2x from both sides.

2x + 5y > -1

2x - 2x + 5y > -1 - 2x

5y > -1 - 1x

Step 2 ) Divide both sides by 5.

5y > -1 - 1x

$\displaystyle\frac{5x}{5} > \frac{-1 -1x}{5}$

$\displaystyle\ x > \frac{-1 -1x}{5}$

So, the solution for y in 2x + 5y > -1 is...

$\displaystyle\ x > \frac{-1 -1x}{5}$

•

PROBLEM TWO

•

Solving for x in 4x - 3 < -3.

•

Step 1 ) Subtract 3 from both sides.

4x - 3 < -3

4x -3 - 3 < -3 - 3

4x < 0

Step 2 ) Divide both sides by x.

4x < 0

$\displaystyle\frac{4x}{4}$

x < 0

So, the solution for x in 4x - 3 < -3 is...

x < 0

Lowell bought 4 1/4 pounds of apples and 3 3/5 pounds of oranges. How many pounds of fruit did Lowell boy?

Zolol [24]

$\bf 4\frac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \cfrac{9}{4}
\\\\\\
3\frac{3}{5}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+3}{5}\implies \cfrac{18}{5}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{9}{4}+\cfrac{18}{5}\impliedby \textit{we'll use the LCD of 20}\implies \cfrac{(5\cdot 9)~+~(4\cdot 18)}{20}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{45+72}{20}\implies \cfrac{117}{20}\implies 5\frac{17}{20}$

What is the quotient of (3x^2 − 17x + 10) ÷ (x − 5)?

rodikova [14]

C. 3x-2 1. you split the second terms into two terrms.

2. factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms

3. factor out the common term 3x-2

cancel out x-5

and your left with 3x-2
