Answer: B) 20 mpg

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that the amount of gasoline used is directly variable to the distance traveled in a car, to find the constant of variation in miles per gallon you need to have an end value that will give you how many miles can be travelled with one gallon. The information we have tells us that 520 miles use up 26 gallons, so 520 miles per 26 gallons. To find how many miles are done with only one gallon divide the 520 miles by the 26 gallons. 520/26 =20miles per gallon 20mpg is the constant of variation, which means that the car uses one gallon in 20 miles of travelling, and will use x gallons in 20 times x miles.

In the equation 0.75s-5/8 = 44, how do you combine the like terms?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given equation, the "like terms" are the constants 5/8 and 44.

It simplifies the math if we eliminate the fractions first.  Note that 0.75 = 6/8, so now we have:

8(6/8)s - 8(5/8) = 44).

Multiplying all three terms by 8 (above) yields

8(6s) - 8(5) = 8(44), or

48s              = 8(44 + 5), or 48s = 8(49)

Dividing both sides by 48 yields s:   s = 8(49/48)

Review "like terms:"  These are terms that have at least one characteristic in common.  5/8 and 44 are like terms because they are only constants (no variables are present).  We must add 5/8 and 44.   0.75s does not have a "like term" in the given equation.
