Answer:

The answer to your question is car 1 = 30 gal and car 1 = 20 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

car 1 = a

car 2 = b

Efficiency of car 1 = 35 mi/gal

Efficiency for car 2 = 20 mi/gal

Total distance = 1450

Total gas consumption = 50 gal

Equations

                          35a + 20b = 1450            ------- (I)

                             a   +     b =  50               ------- (II)

Solve by elimination

Multiply equation II by -35

                          35a  + 20b  = 1450

                         -35a  - 35b   = -1750

Simplify

                            0    - 15b    =  -300

Solve for b

                                        b =  -300/-15

Result

                                        b = 20

Substitute b in equation II to find a

                               a +  20  = 50

Solve for a

                               a  = 50 -20

Result

                               a  = 30

Answer:

- 3y² - 7y + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(- 3y + 2)(y + 3)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

- 3y (y + 3) + 2(y + 3) ← distribute both parenthesis

= - 3y² - 9y + 2y + 6 ← collect like terms

= - 3y² - 7y + 6

Explain how showing fractions with models and a number line are alike and different?
Otrada [13]
Showing fractions can be expressed in model and number line.
Using a model, you have to draw the number of parts (denominator) and shade the number of parts (numerator).

Using a number line, the line starts from 0 to the number of the denominator. You put a marker to the number that is the same as the numerator.

Both model and number line use the value of the numerator and denominator. What makes them different is how they are presented. Model can easily be understood compared to number line.

Pythagorean theorem
marta [7]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\ so 8^{2} +b^{2} =\sqrt{80} ^{2}

rearrange the formula:

\sqrt{80} ^{2} - 8^{2} = b^{2}

80 - 64 = b^2

b^2 = 16\\b  = \sqrt{16}

\sqrt{16}  = 4

x = 4+4 = 8

Question- Solve for a<br> 2a+b=x
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

a = (x - b)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2a + b = x

-b         -b

2a = x - b

/2        /2

a = (x - b)/2

for ex:

x = 3

b = 2

a = ((3) - (2))/2 = 0.5

a = 0.5

2a + b = x

2(0.5) + 2 = 3
