Answer:

  2 small; 3 large

Step-by-step explanation:

Using s and L for the number of small and large cars, respectively, we have ...

  5s +8L = 34 . . . . number of passengers

  s + L = 5 . . . . . . . number of cars

  5s +8(5 -s) = 34 . . . . substitute for L

  -3s +40 = 34

  -3s = -6 . . . . . . subtract 40

  s = 2 . . . . . . . . divide by -2

  L = 5-2 = 3

2 small cars and 3 large cars were rented.

Divide 32.85 by 15 help me work out the problem. please
Arlecino [84]
<em>The answer to 32.85÷15 is 2.19. First, you need to change 32.85 into a whole number. To do that, multiply by powers of ten. There are 2 powers of ten need to turn 32.85 to a whole number. Whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other. So, add 2 zeros to 15. The expression becomes 3,285÷1500. The answer is 2.19</em>

Solve for x. <br>0.71= 1/2(9.8) x^2. ​
Fudgin [204]

Answer: 0.38065

in simpler terms x=±  0.145  =±0.38065

Step-by-step explanation: -490x2+71 = 0  

Subtract  71  from both sides of the equation :  

                     -490x2 = -71

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  490x2 = 71

Divide both sides of the equation by 490:

                    x2 = 71/490 = 0.145

 

When two things are equal, their square roots are equal. Taking the square root of the two sides of the equation we get:  

                     x  =  ± √ 71/490  

The equation has two real solutions  

These solutions are  x = ±√ 0.145 = ± 0.38065
