Answer: 278.30 pounds (if the gasoline does not contain ethanol)

317.12 pounds (if the gasoline does contain ethanol)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the truck averages 12 miles per gallon, then in 170 miles it consumes:

170mi/12mi = 14.17 gallons.

We know that for one gallon consumed, the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is 19.64 pounds. (assuming it does not contain ethanol)

Then for 14.17 gallons consumed, we have a emission of:

14.17*19.64 pounds = 278.30 pounds

I the gasoline contains ethanlol, for a gallon the emiision is around  22.38 pounds.

In this case the total emission is:

14.17*22.38 pounds = 317.12 pounds

atroni [7]

Answer:

  • 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The ordered pairs are</u>

  • x |  y
  • 2  | 3
  • 5  | 9

<u>The slope is:</u>

  • m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
  • m = (9 - 3)/(5 - 2)= 6/3 = 2

*EXTRA POINTS -- 8TH GRADE MATH* <br> pls answer each one :)
Anastaziya [24]

What do the two variables in this system represent?

the two variables represent the number of hot dogs or soft drinks you will get.

Write a system of equations to represent the model.

let s = soft drinks and let h = hot dogs

3s+2h=7.70

2s+h=4.55

What is the cost of 1 soft drink? <u>$1.4</u>

What is the cost of 1 hot dog? <u>$1.75</u>

Solving for the above two questions

<u>solve the second eqaution for h:</u>

2s+h=4.55

subtract 2s

h=4.55-2s

<u>substitute this into the first equation:</u>

3s+2(4.55-2s)=7.70

distribute the 2

3s+9.1-4s=7.70

add like terms

-s+9.1=7.70

subtract 9.1

-s=-1.4

divide by -1

s=1.4

<u>substitute into the equation for h:</u>

h=4.55-2s

h=4.55-2(1.4)

h=4.55-2.8

h=1.75

What is the intercept of y equals negative 3 over 5x minus twelve
Elis [28]
Y=-3/5x -12
The y intercept is what you get when x = 0, which can't happen in this equation (can't divide by 0)
The x intercept is when -3/5x -12=0  or
3/5x = -12
3/-12 = 5x
3/-60 = x = -0.05

For a dinner party Abraham is creating Individual Serving of starters. He has nine carrot sticks and 18 Celery sticks if he want
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:  9\ servings

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that Abraham has 9 carrot sticks and 18 Celery sticks.

In order to calculate the greatest number of servings Abraham can create, you need to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

The procedure to find the Greatest common factor is:

 1. Descompose 9 and 18 into their prime factors.

 2. Multiply the commons factors with their lowest exponents.

Then, in this case you get:

9=3*3=3^2\\\\18=2*3*3=2*3^2

GCF=3^2=9

Therefore, the greatest number of servings Abraham can create is:

9\ servings
