A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

15 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 925 miles, for a total gas consumption of 35 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?

The amount of gas consumed by first and second car were 20 gallons and 15 gallons respectively.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Suppose,  x gallons of gas were consumed by the first car.

As the total gas consumption in one week is 35 gallons, so the amount of gas consumed by second car will be:  (35-x) gallons.

The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas.

So, the <u>distance traveled by the first car</u> in x gallons of gas =35x miles and the <u>distance traveled by the second car</u> in (35-x) gallons of gas =15(35-x) miles.

Given that, the two cars went a <u>combined total of 925 miles</u>. So, the equation will be.....

35x+15(35-x)=925\\ \\ 35x+525-15x=925\\ \\ 20x=925-525=400\\ \\ x=\frac{400}{20}=20

So, the amount of gas consumed by the first car is 20 gallons and the amount of gas consumed by the second car is: (35 - 20) = 15 gallons.

1. You need to multiply the denominator by something that will make the content of the radical be a square—so that when you take the square root, you get something rational. Easiest and best is to multiply by √6. Of course, you must multiply the numerator by the same thing. Then simplify.

\displaystyle\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{6}}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}}\\\\=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}\cdot\sqrt{6}}=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{6}\\\\=\bf{\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3}}

2. Identify the squares under the radical and remove them.

5\sqrt{12xm^3}=5\sqrt{(4m^2)(3xm)}=5\sqrt{(2m)^2}\sqrt{3xm}\\\\=5\cdot 2m\sqrt{3xm}=\bf{10m\sqrt{3xm}}

For each equation, determine whether it represents a direct variation, an inverse variation, or neither.
SSSSS [86.1K]

we know that in direct variation as x increase y also increases.

in indirect variation x decreases y increase and vice versa.

in part a we have x at top (numerator ) and y at denominator it mean indirect variation (as x increases y decreases).

to find k we know that for indirect variation xy=k

if we rewrite the equation x=9/y we get xy=9

which mean k=9 .

in part b we have 4xy=20 if we simplify this equation we get

xy=20/4=5

so here if we rewrite in terms of x.

we get x=5/y which represents indirect variation.

and we know xy=k

we have xy=5 .so k=5

Distribute the negative
2x - 5 - 9y + 8 + 16y
Simplify
2x + 7y + 3

13.
Square is 4 sides, all sides are equal
4 ( 4x + 3)
16x + 12
