If you have
|a|=b, then solve for the variable in euations
a=b and a=-b
for ineqalities, it is much trickier

for
|a|>b, assume a>b and a<-b
for
|a|<b, asssume -b<a<b

A certain pickup truck gets 20mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. If the driver drives 270 mi on 11 gal of gas, determine
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

95 city and 175 highway miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The driver gets 20 mpg in city, and 28 mpg on the highway.

An equation that could be written is

20x+28y=270

This equation accounts for the distance traveled.

x+y=11

This equotion accounts for how many gallons were driven.

Multiply the bottom equation by 20, so you can solve the set of equations.

20x+28y=270

20x+20y=220

subtract them

8y=50

y=6.25

now plug this back into x+y=11

x+6.25=11

x=4.75

Now 4.75×20=95 city miles and 6.25×28=175 highway miles.

I need help pleaseeee!!!!! I don’t understand
olganol [36]

Answer:

a. x = 5, m∠FGH = 22°

b. m∠HGI = 22°

c.  m∠FGI = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since GH bisects FGI this means it divides the angle in two equal parts.

a. solving for x means equating them:

5x-3 = 6x-8 =>

5x - 6x = 3 - 8 =>

x = 5.

Both m∠FGH and m∠HGI are 5*5-3 = 22°

c. Add both angles: m∠FGH + m∠HGI = 44°

In a right triangle, the measures of the two smaller angles are (3X+6) and (2X-1) . Find the measure of the smallest angle in th
UkoKoshka [18]
In a right triangle the biggest angle is 90°.

Then the two smaller angles sum up 180° - 90° = 90 °.

Now you can use this equation: 3x + 6 + 2x - 1 = 90 and solve for x:

5 x + 5 = 90
5x = 85
x = 85/5
x = 17

Then, the smallest angle is 2(17) - 1 = 33°
