D is directly proportional to g.

d α g

d = kg    where k = constant,  d =476,  g =14

476 = k*14

476/14 = k

k = 34

d = kg

d = 34g  is the equation.

When d = 578 miles,   g = ?

578 = 34g

g = 578/34

g = 17

17 gallons would be needed.

Distance, d, is directly proportional to the number of gallons of gas, g. Thus,

d α g

To turn alpha to equal sign, we insert a constant of proportionality, k.

d=kg

To find k, we use the given conditions.
476 = k (14)
k = 34

Therefore, the equation is,
d = 34g

and for travelling 578 miles,
578 = 34g
g = 17 gallons is needed.

What is the solution to the system of equations below? y = negative one-fourth x + 2 and 3 y = negative three-fourths x minus 6
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the system equations are:

y = (-1/4)x + 2   (1)

3y = (-3/4)x – 6    (2)

If we multiply equation (1) by 3:

3y = (-3/4)x + 6      (1)

3y = (-3/4)x – 6       (2)

then subtract it from equation (2):

0y = 0x – 12

0 = -12

This is not possible, therefore, the system equation has no solution

Answer:

When it crosses y-axis it means that x coordinate must be 0 so let substitute 0 to x, y=5-2*0

So coordinates are [0,5]
