The labor fee is $13.55 and each quart of oil is $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the amount of each quart of oil

y be the amount of labor fee

According to given statement;

5x+y=24.80        Eqn 1

7x+y=29.30        Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 2

(7x+y)-(5x+y)=29.30-24.80\\7x+y-5x-y=4.50\\2x=4.50

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{4.50}{2}\\x=2.25

Putting x=2.25 in Eqn 1

5(2.25)+y=24.80\\11.25+y=24.80\\y=24.80-11.25\\y=13.55

The labor fee is $13.55 and each quart of oil is $2.25

What is the value of x in the equation 2(x+3)=4(x-1)
Nina [5.8K]
Firstly, expand the equation.
2(x + 3) = 4(x - 1) \\ 2x + 6 = 4x - 4

Next, move the variable x to the left and all the constant to the right.
2x + 6 = 4x - 4 \\ 2x - 4x =  - 4 - 6 \\  - 2x =  - 10

Then, solve for x.
- 2x =  - 10 \\ x =  \frac{ - 10}{ - 2}  \\ x = 5

Select the postulate or theorem
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Answer: SAS Similarity theorem.

Explanation.

SAS stands for Side - Angle - Side.

SAS theorem states that if two triangles have corresponding angles that are congruent and corresponding sides with identical ratios, then the triangles are similar.

And that is what the figure shows:

1) The angle at M is the same for both triangles.

2) The ratios of the sides are: 2/3 and 4 /6. Given that 2/3 = 4/6 you have that the two corresponding sides have identical ratios.

What is the simplest form of the expression (–12.7y – 3.1x) + 5.9y – (4.2y + x)?
Doss [256]

Answer:

<h2>-11y - 4.1x</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(-12.7y-3.1x)+5.9y-(4.2y+x)\\\\=-12.7y-3.1x+5.9y-4.2y-x\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(-12.7y+5.9y-4.2y)+(-3.1x-x)\\\\=-11y-4.1x

What is the quotient StartFraction 15 p Superscript negative 4 Baseline q Superscript negative 6 Baseline Over negative 20 p Sup
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

- \frac{3}{4} \times  \frac{p^{8} }{q^{3} }

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the quotient of the following division, \frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6} }{- 20p^{-12} q^{-3}}.

Now, \frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6} }{- 20p^{-12} q^{-3}}

= - \frac{3}{4} p^{[- 4 - (- 12)]} q^{[-6 - (- 3)]} {Since all the terms in the expression are in product form, so we can treat them separately}

{Since we know the property of exponent as \frac{a^{b} }{a^{c} } = a^{(b - c)}}

= - \frac{3}{4} p^{8} q^{-3}

= - \frac{3}{4} \times  \frac{p^{8} }{q^{3} } (Answer)

{Since we know, a^{-b} = \frac{1}{a^{b} }}
