Answer:
0.06
Step-by-step explanation:
The longer sides of the rectangles should be the same value, so we can make the lower part of the equation equal to 18, which is 4.
We can even find the y value by making it equal to 10, which is 3.
Part 1
<h3>Answer: 13</h3>
---------------------
Explanation:
We'll replace every copy of x with -3. Then use PEMDAS to simplify.
f(x) = -2x+7
f(-3) = -2(-3)+7
f(-3) = 6+7
f(-3) = 13
===========================================================
Part 2
<h3>Answer: -11</h3>
---------------------
Explanation:
We work backwards in a sense compared to what part 1 did. Instead of finding f(x) based on x, we determine what x must be for a given f(x).
We'll replace f(x) with 29 and solve for x like so
f(x) = -2x+7
29 = -2x+7
-2x+7 = 29
-2x = 29-7
-2x = 22
x = 22/(-2)
x = -11
Note how if you replaced x with -11, we'd get,
f(x) = -2x+7
f(-11) = -2(-11)+7
f(-11) = 22+7
f(-11) = 29
which helps confirm we have the correct answer.
He uses 5/8 tanks of gas in one week.
In 5 he will use, 5/8 *5 = 25/8 in 5 weeks
This can be simplified too:
3.125 tanks of gas
The answer is, 25/8 tanks of gas or 3.125 tanks of gas
