umption was at the rate of 40 miles per gallon on the open road. the tourist does not realize that the u.k. gallon differs from the u.s. gallon: 1 u.k. gallon = 4.545 963 1 liters 1 u.s. gallon = 3.785 306 0 liters for a trip of 738 miles (in the united states), how many gallons of fuel does (a) the mistaken tourist believe she needs and (b) the car actually require?

<u>Solution-</u>

Fuel consumption rate = 40 miles per UK gallon (As the car is manufactured in UK)

1 UK gallon = 4.5459631 lit

1 US gallon = 3.7853060 lit

\therefore \frac{1 \ UK \ gallon}{1 \ US \ gallon} = \frac{4.5459631}{3.7853060} = 1.2009499

\Rightarrow 1 \ UK \ gallon = 1.2009499 \ US \ gallon

As the fuel consumption rate = 40 miles per gallon

⇒ You need 1 UK gallon of fuel to go 40 miles

⇒ You need 1.2009499 US gallon of fuel to go 40 miles

Or you can say that, to go 40 miles you need 1.2009499 US gallon of fuel

⇒ To go 1 mile you will need  \frac{1.2009499}{40} = 0.0300237

⇒ To go 738 miles you will need 0.0300237×738 = 22.1574906 US gallon of fuel

∴ 22.1574906 gallon of fuel is actually required.

∴ But, what she thinks will require is \frac{738}{40} = 18.45 gallons (As she calculated using UK gallons)

Elodia [21]

Answer:

n=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

2(n+5)=-2

distribute

2(n+5)

2xn 2x5

2n+10

2n+10=-2

subtract 10 from both sides

10-10=0

-2-10=-12

2n=-12

divide each side by 2

2n/2=n

-12/2=-6

n=-6
