$4\frac{17}{20}$ gallons of chilli were extra spicy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total gallons of chilli made = $12\frac{3}{5}$

Quantity of mild chilli = $7\frac{3}{4}$

Let,

x be the amount of extra spicy chilli.

Mild chilli + extra spicy chilli = total gallons

$7\frac{3}{4}+x=12\frac{3}{5}\\\\\frac{31}{4}+x=\frac{63}{5}\\\\x=\frac{63}{5}-\frac{31}{4}\\\\x=\frac{252-155}{20}\\\\x=\frac{97}{20}\\\\x=4\frac{17}{20}$

$4\frac{17}{20}$ gallons of chilli were extra spicy.

ANSWER

$P-G = 11{w}^{4} - 5 {w}^{2} {z}^{2} - 4z^{4}$

EXPLANATION

The given polynomials are:

$G = - 3 {w}^{4} + 2 {w}^{2} {z}^{2} + 5z^{4}$

and

$P = 8 {w}^{4} - 3{w}^{2} {z}^{2} + z^{4}$

We want to subtract these two polynomials.

$P-G = 8 {w}^{4} - 3{w}^{2} {z}^{2} + z^{4} - (- 3 {w}^{4} + 2 {w}^{2} {z}^{2} + 5z^{4} )$

Expand the right hand side to obtain:

$P-G = 8 {w}^{4} - 3{w}^{2} {z}^{2} + z^{4} + 3 {w}^{4} - 2 {w}^{2} {z}^{2} - 5z^{4}$

Group the similar terms:

$P-G = 8 {w}^{4} + 3 {w}^{4}- 3{w}^{2} {z}^{2} - 2 {w}^{2} {z}^{2} - 5z^{4} + z^{4}$

Combine the similar terms to get:

$P-G = 11{w}^{4} - 5 {w}^{2} {z}^{2} - 4z^{4}$

Give the following equations determine if the lines are parallel perpendicular or neither

GaryK [48]

In order to determine whether the equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, let's simply each equation into a slope-intercept form or basically, solve for y.

Let's start with the first equation.

$\frac{6x-5y}{2}=x+1$

Cross multiply both sides of the equation.

$6x-5y=2(x+1)$ $6x-5y=2x+2$

Subtract 6x on both sides of the equation.

$6x-5y-6x=2x+2-6x$ $-5y=-4x+2$

Divide both sides of the equation by -5.

$-\frac{5y}{-5}=\frac{-4x}{-5}+\frac{2}{-5}$ $y=\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the first equation is 4/5.

Let's now simplify the second equation.

$-4y-x=4x+5$

Add x on both sides of the equation.

$-4y-x+x=4x+5+x$ $-4y=5x+5$

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.

$\frac{-4y}{-4}=\frac{5x}{-4}+\frac{5}{-4}$ $y=-\frac{5}{4}x-\frac{5}{4}$

Therefore, the slope of the second equation is -5/4.

Since the slope of each equation is the negative reciprocal of each other, then the graph of the two equations is perpendicular to each other.

At a fast food restaurant, 10 cheeseburgers w/onion and 5 orders of french fries contain 6900 calories. 5 cheeseburgers w/oni

Leona [35]

Write the equations,

10 c + 5 f = 6900

5c + 3f = 3660

Double,

10c + 6f = 7320

Subtract,

f = 7320 - 6900 = 420

10 c = 6900 - 5f = 6900 - 2100 = 4800

c = 480

Answer: Cheeseburger 480 calories, fries 420 calories

Check:

10 (480) + 5 (420) = 4800 + 2100 = 6900 good

5(480) + 3(420) = 2400 + 1260 = 3660 good
