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

Solve the equation. 8x2 – 4 = 28

Flura [38]

Hello,

Your answer would be 2, -2.

$8x^2 - 4 = 28$

$8x^2-4+4=28+4$

$8x^2 = 32$

$\frac{8x^2}{8}= \frac{32}{8} 
$

$x^2 = 4$

x = +/4

x = 2 or x = -2

2 , -2 would be the answer! :)

OleMash [197]

The first part of the question is not needed
we only need to know M1 and M2
(y2-y1)^2+(x2-x1)^2=(your answer)^2
(5-16)^2+(-3-2)^2=(your answer)^2
(-11)^2+(-5)^2=(your answer)^2
121+25=(your answer)^2
