Answer:

1 quart of oil is $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the problem with equations.

let x be a quart of oil and g be a gallon of gasoline

(1) 24.5 = 10g + x

(2) 22 = 8g + 2x

We need to solve this system of equations to get x.

I can solve by elimination by making both equations have 2x.

Multiply equation (1) by 2. Equation (2) remains the same.

(1) --> 49 = 20g + 2x

(2) 22 = 8g + 2x

Subtract (2) from (1) to get:

27 = 12g <= isolate g

g = 27/12

g = 9/4

Substitute g = 9/4 in (2)

22 = 8g + 2x

22 = 8(9/4) + 2x

Now simplify and isolate x.

22 = 18 + 2x

2x = 4

x = 2

x represents one quart of oil.

Therefore, one quart of oil is $2.

Which linear function is represented by a graph with a y-intercept of −16 ? y=−16x+1 y=16x−1 y=x−16 y=x+16

Romashka [77]

Answer:

y = x - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the value of the function when x = 0.

If f(x) = x - 16, f(0) = 0 - 16 = -16.

A is wrong, because f(0) = -16(0) + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1.

B is wrong, because f(0) = 16(0) + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1.

D is wrong, because f(0) = 0 + 16 = 16.

What type of number can be written as an a fraction a/b where a and b are Integres and b is not equal to zero?

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Integers, Terminating Decimals, Recurring Decimals, Proper and Improper Fractions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following subset of the real number system can be written in the form $\dfrac{a}{b}$ , b≠0.

Integers(ℤ): These are positive and negative whole numbers. For example, 5 can be written as $\dfrac{5}{1}$

Terminating Decimals: These are fractions that when converted to decimal numbers have an end.

e.g. $\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5$

Recurring Decimals: These are fractions that when converted to decimal numbers do not have an end.

e.g. $\dfrac{8}{11}=0.727272...=0.\overline{72}$

Proper Fractions: These are fractions of the form $\dfrac{a}{b}$ where a<b. An examples is $\dfrac{4}{5}$

Improper Fractions: These are fractions of the form $\dfrac{a}{b}$ where a>b. An examples is $\dfrac{5}{4}$
