Answer:

Cost of 1 gallon of Regular gasoline is $2.45 and  Cost of 1 gallon of Premium gasoline is $2.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Cost of Regular gasoline be 'x'.

Let the Cost of Premium gasoline be 'y'.

Given:

Amount of regular gasoline bought yesterday = 2 gallons

Amount of premium gasoline bought yesterday = 3 gallons

Total Cost of yesterday = $13.60

Now we know that Total Cost of yesterday is equal to sum of Amount of regular gasoline bought yesterday multiplied by Cost of Regular gasoline and Amount of Premium gasoline bought yesterday multiplied by Cost of premium gasoline.

Framing in equation form we get;

2x+3y=13.60 \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Also Given:

Amount of regular gasoline bought today = 3 gallons

Amount of premium gasoline bought Today = 4 gallons

Total Cost of Today = $18.95

Now we know that Total Cost of Today is equal to sum of Amount of regular gasoline bought Today multiplied by Cost of Regular gasoline and Amount of Premium gasoline bought Today multiplied by Cost of premium gasoline.

Framing in equation form we get;

3x+4y=18.95 \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

Now Multiplying equation 1 by 3 we get;

2x+3y=13.60\\\\3(2x+3y)=13.60\times3\\\\6x+9y= 40.80 \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 3

Now Multiplying equation 2 by 2 we get;

3x+4y=18.95\\\\2(3x+4y)=18.95\times2\\\\6x+8y= 37.90 \ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 4

Subtracting equation 4 from equation 3 we get;

(6x+9y)- (6x+8y)= 40.80-37.90\\\\6x+9y-6x-8y= 2.9\\\\y=\$2.90

Substituting the value of y in equation 1 we get;

2x+3y=13.60\\\\2x+3\times2.90 =13.60\\\\2x+8.7=13.6\\\\2x=13.6-8.7\\\\2x=4.9\\\\x=\frac{4.9}{2} =\$2.45

Hence Cost of 1 gallon of Regular gasoline is $2.45 and  Cost of 1 gallon of Premium gasoline is $2.90.

Line CD contains points C(7, 4) and D(6, 1). Line JK is parallel to line CD. Which two points lie on line JK?
Andru [333]
From 6,1 to 7,4 
We can determine the slope of the line
rise/run
3/1=3

Now we know the slope of the line, a line parallel to it must obtain the same slope, therefore, I tried to see if the increase in y is three times the increase in x
I found the true pair to be A

(-4,1) and (-2,7)

Can somone pls help me with this I have a C- in math and I really need help also a like show work on each one plsss
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

1. \frac{3}{8}

2. \frac{1}{4}

3a. -\frac{1}{4}

3b. 3

3c. -\frac{4}{5}

4. m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1-x_2}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Rises 6 inches for every horizontal change of 16 inches

Slope = rise/run

Slope = 6/16

Slope = 3/8

2.

Rises 3 feet for every horizontal change of 12 feet

Slope = rise/run

Slope = 3/12

Slope = 1/4

3a.

m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1-x_2}

m = \frac{3-2}{-2-2}

m = \frac{1}{-4}

m = -\frac{1}{4}

3b.

m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1-x_2}\\

m = \frac{-1 - 2}{-1-0}

m = \frac{-3}{-1}

m = 3

3c.

m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1-x_2}\\

m = \frac{1 - (-3)}{-1-4}\\

m = \frac{4}{-5}\\

m = -\frac{4}{5}

4.

m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1-x_2}\\

What does 1) x2 – 5x – 14 = 0 equals?<br>​
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

<h3>x = -2 and 7</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

  • x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0
  • x^2 - ( 7 - 2 )x - 14 = 0
  • x^2 - 7x + 2x - 14 = 0
  • x ( x - 7 ) + 2(x - 7) = 0
  • (x + 2) (x - 7) = 0
  • x = -2 and 7

Daniel is reading a 200-page book. He
Minchanka [31]

Set up a ratio to find the number of pages read in 80 minutes:

40 pages/ 50 minutes = x pages/ 80 minutes

Cross multiply:

50x = 3200

Divide both sides by 50:

X = 3200/50

X = 64

He will read 64 pages in 80 minutes.

200 -64 = 136

There will be 136 pages left.
