Answer:

<u>The answer is G = 20 - m/18, but none of the answers given is correct.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to help Lulu to answer the question correctly:

Capacity of the gas tank of Lulu's car = 20 gallons

Lulu can travel 216 miles using 12 gallons

2. Which linear equation represents the number of gallons of gas, G, left in the tank after driving m miles?

G = number of gallons left in Lulu's car

m = Miles driven by Lulu

miles per gallon = 216/12 = 18 miles per gallon

Now, we can write the linear equation, this way:

G = Capacity of the gas tank of Lulu's car - miles driven/miles per gallon

Replacing with the values we know:

<u>G = 20 - m/18</u>

Let's assume Lulu drives 180 miles, using our linear equation, we have:

G = 20 - 180/18

G = 20 - 10 = 10 gallons left

Let's assume Lulu drives 54 miles, using our linear equation, we have

G = 20 - 54/18

G = 20 - 3 = 17 gallons left

Check the picture below.

we know that AL is an angle bisector, so the angle at A gets cuts into two equal halves, we also know the angle at B is 30°, so the triangle ABC is really a 30-60-90 triangle, meaning the angle at A is really a 60° angle, cut in two halves gives us 30° and 30° as you see in the picture.

if the angles at A and B, inside the triangle ABL, are equal, twin angles are only made in an isosceles by twin sides, that means that AL = BL.

Looking at the triangle ALC, we can see is also another 30-60-90 triangle, and we can just use the 30-60-90 rule to get x=CL.

What is the answer to 2b + 8- 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b - 5
Alborosie

Answer:

2 8/11 = b

Step-by-step explanation:

2b + 8 - 5b + 3 = -13 + 8b - 5

combine like terms

11 - 3b = -18 + 8b

add 3b

11 = -18 + 11b

add 18

29 = 11b

divide by 11

2 8/11 = b

Function p(x), shown below, is translated 10 units up to create function q(x).
natulia [17]

Answer: q(x) = 0.005(x - 40)² + 70

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k   <em>where a is the vertical stretch and (h, k) is the vertex.</em>

Which coordinate shifts the graph up?<em> The y-coordinate for the vertex is k.</em>

p(x) = 0.005(x - 40)² + 60

q(x) = 0.005(x - 40)² + 60 <u>+ 10</u>

       = 0.005(x - 40)² + 70

I'm very confused on how to even figure out the question and what I'm supposed to do
Tasya [4]

Answer:

To solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system. The solution to the system will be in the point where the two lines intersect. The two lines intersect in (-3, -4) which is the solution to this system of equations. I hope this helped!

Karl participated in a two-day charity walk. His parents donated money for each mile he walked. Karl walked 3 1/4 miles on the f
Dvinal [7]
This is quite simple. We will first add the amount of miles walked together.
3.25+5.5=8.75
Then we will divide 175 by the number of miles walked which in this case is 8.75.
Then we get 20 which is the amount of money that his parents donated for every mile that he walked.
