Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form means that a number is less than 10 and in the form 10^x.
Example: 4 x 10^1, 9.67 x 10^2 or 3 x 10^-5
Answer:
x+y/4 = 1/2
x-3y/3 = 2
move variables to one side:
multiply the first equation by 4 to get: x+y =2
and the second equation by 3 to get: x-3y =6
then subtract the equations to cancel out x:
x+y = 2
- x-3y = 6
then u get
y--3y = 2-6
4y = -4
y=-1
substitute to solve for x:
x-1 / 4 =1/2
x-1 = 2
x=3
check:
3+-1
2/4= 1/2
correct!!!
Gas mileage = 30.5 mi/gal
Volume of gas = 1.5 l
Note that 1 liter = 0.264172 gallons
Therefore
1.5 l = (1.5 l)*(0.264172 gal/l) = 0.3963 gal
Distance traveled is (Gas mileage, mi/gal)*(Gal of gas)
= (30.5)(0.3963) = 12.087 mi
Answer: 12 mi (nearest integer)
