Answer:

<em>Josh would need to purchase 20 gallons of gas for the cost to be the same at each car wash</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to model both car wash's costs. The Quik-Clean Car Wash charges $15 for a car wash plus $2.50 per gallon for unleaded gasoline. If x is the number of gallons of unleaded gasoline. the total charges of this store are:

C1=15+2.5*x

The Mighty Clean Car Wash charges $10 for a carwash plus $2.75 per gallon for unleaded gasoline. Following the same procedure, their costs are:

C2=10+2.75*x

Josh wants to know how many gallons of gas will make both businesses charge the same. Equating both equations:

15+2.5*x=10+2.75*x

Simplifying:

-0.25x=-5

Solving:

x=-5/(-0.25)=20

Josh would need to purchase 20 gallons of gas for the cost to be the same at each car wash

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of angles of triangle = 180°

  • 60 + 60 + 4x - 80 = 180
  • 40 + 4x = 180
  • 4x = 140
  • x = 140/4
  • x = 35°

A boat travels for 7 hours. if it travels 4 hours downstream and 3 hours upstream. ten t covers a distance of 116 km. but if it
nadya68 [22]
Speed = Distance / Time
Distance = Speed*Time

For this problem, we should bear in mind that current speed has an impact on the boat speed...

for upstream, the boat goes against the current, and so its speed is

U = V - C

where V is the speed of the boat
C is the current speed

for downstream, it will be:

D = V + C

Convert the problem into mathematical equations:

4D + 3U = 116
3D + 4U = 108

4(V+C) + 3(V-C) = 116
4V + 4C + 3V -3C =116
7V + C = 116

3(V+C) + 4(V-C) = 108
3V + 3C + 4V - 4C = 108
7V - C = 108

Solving the equations:

7V + C = 116
7V - C = 108

14V = 224
V = 16km/hr —-> speed of boat

to get C:
7(16) + C = 116
C = 4km/hr

I believe it is a Triangle with a base of 100 ft. and a height of 100 ft. 
Yet that's what I learned in class, my teacher isn't paying attention to much of our lessons, so forgive me if this is wrong.
