Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

u make a proportion and solve for x:

294/12 = 490/x

12 x 490 = 5880

5880/294 = 20

Answer:

20 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we can use a proportion

She used 12 gallons for 294 miles, and x gallons for 490 miles

12/294=x/490

Cross multiply

294*x=12*490

294x=5880

We want to solve for x. To do that, we need to get x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 294, divide both sides by 294.

294x/294=5880/294

x=20

So, she needs 20 gallons to drive 490 miles

9x-2y=19 7x=21 can you please help me answer this question

avanturin [10]

We have such system of eq
$\left \{ {{9x-2y=19} \atop {7x=21}} \right.$
First lets solve second eq
7x=21 /:7 divide both sides by 7
x=3
Now we can substitute it to first equation
9x-2y=19
9*3-2y=19
27-2y=19 /-27 subtract 27 both sides
-2y=-8 /:(-2) divide both sides by -2
y=4 - its the answer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 3rd question, we are given the equation x ^ 3 + x ^ 2 + 2x + 24. One of the factors is x + 3. Now, we can use long division to find that the equation we have left is x^2 - 2x - 8. We can just factor this to get (x - 4) (x + 2). In the 3rd question, possible factors for the coefficient are 1, 2, -1, -2. Possible factors for the constant are 1, 7, -1, -7. Now, we can try out all of them. The possible factors are 1, 7, -1, -7, 2, 14, -2, -14.
