Answer:
A) 
gallons
B) Distance between Town A and Town B is 
miles
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
We know, number of gallons = 
if miles per gallon (mpg) is given as 24 & total distance travelled is 3x miles, then, using formula we have:
Number of Gallons = 
B)
Now, given is number of gallons = 2y & we know mpg is 24; <em>so what is the distance?</em>
We use the same formula and solve for distance (let distance between A and B be "D"):
Simplest form of 12/15 is 4/5
To simplify the fraction, you need to divide both numerator (12) and denominator (15) by a number that goes into both numbers which is 3. You then end up with your fraction
X^2 + 5x = -2
x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0
x = -b (+-) sqrt (b^2 - 4ac) / 2a
a = 1, b = 5, and c = 2
x = -5 (+-) sqrt (5^2 - 4(1)(2)) / 2(1)
x = -5 (+-) sqrt (25 - 8) / 2
x = -5 (+-) sqrt (17) / 2
answer is : negative 5 plus or minus the square root of 17 divided by 2
Answer:
90 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of tickets be x
and the total amount each has be y
For Jessica
the amount is
y=10x--------1
for Laurie the amount is
Note: she has $360 already
y=360+6x-------2
to find the number of the tickets that will make them have the same amount, let us equate 1 and 2
10x=360+6x
10x-6x=360
4x=360
x=360/4
x=90
HP = JP (since the opposite sides of an isosceles triangle are equal)
3x - 6 = x + 2
2x = 8
x = 4
Thus, HP = 3(4) - 6 = 12 - 6 = 6
JP = 4 + 2 = 6
JH = 2(4) = 8.
