Answer:
D. Time; amount; $2800
I hope this is right because I was looking for the answer to the same question and this is the solution I came up with.
Step-by-step explanation:
Time is the independent variable because it is the variable that is changed.
The Amount (dollars) is the dependent variable because it is effected by the independent variable.
6b-18c+18x is simplified for you
Let the number of gallons consumed be the first car be x, and that of the second car, y. Then:
x + y = 50 . . . . . . . (1)
20x + 15y = 850. . . (2)
(1) x 20 => 20x + 20y = 1000 . . . (3)
(2) - (3) => -5y = -150 => y = -150/-5 = 30
From (1), x + 30 = 50 => x = 50 - 30 = 20
Therefore, first car consumed 20 gallons and the second consumed 30 gallons.
I'm not sure but I'm gonna guess that the answer is 50?
Answer:
x=-3, x=1, x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have to find the zero of an equation like (x+3) all you have to do is solve for x.
x+3=0 equal the equation to zero
x+3-3=0-3 cancel out 3
x=-3 answer
If you have to find the zero of an equation like f(x)=-2x^2 - 5x + 7 then you would have to factor the equation.
7*-2=-14 multiply
-7 & 2 find the two numbers that when multiplied =14 and when added = -5
(2x^2 + 2) (-7x + 7) replace -5 with -7 & 2
-2x (x - 1) -7 (x - 1) factor
(x - 1) (-2x - 7) rewrite
1st: x - 1 = 0
x = 1 : Answer
2nd: -2x - 7= 0
-2x - 7 + 7 = 0 + 7
-2x = 7
-2x / -2 = 7 / -2
x = 7 / -2 : Answer
