PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a

fuel efficiency of 20 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1450 miles, for a total gas consumption of 50 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?

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

an aircraft carrier leads port heading due west at 28 knots. A helicopter is 175 nautical miles from the carrier at an angle of
emmainna [20.7K]
Let’s say it takes time t hours for the interception.
In that time the carrier travels 28t nm west and the helicopter 130t nm.
Now we use the sine rule to find the angle x which lies between the distance 175 and 130t.
sin(x)/28t=sin35/130t. So sin(x)=28sin35/130=14sin35/65=0.1235 and x=7.0964 degrees.
Therefore the helicopter should use a bearing of 35+7.0964=42.0964 degrees north of east or 47.9 degrees east of north approx.

How do I solve this finding the first four of the sequence?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

- 7, - 3, 1, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive rule and a₁ = - 7, then

a₂ = a₁ + 4 = - 7 + 4 = - 3

a₃ = a₂ + 4 = - 3 + 4 = 1

a₄ = a₃ + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

The first four terms are - 7, - 3, 1, 5

What is x?? I'm so confused!
LiRa [457]

Answer:

x = 468%

Step-by-step explanation:

I see a proportion here.

we want to solve for the variable x in the proportion:

18% / (2 weeks) =   ( x %) / (52 weeks)

here we should multiply 52 to boths sides

(52 weeks) * 18%  / (2 weeks) =   x %

26  * 18% =  x %

x = 468 %
