Answer:

It takes 26 2/3 gallons to make a 400 mile trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is simply asking for the number of miles per gallon . In math, <em>per</em> means this is meant to be written as a fraction.

"If a trip of 270 miles required 18 gallons of gas" is actually saying "270 miles per 18 gallons." This can be written as a fraction like so: 270/18.

If we're looking for the amount of gas used for a 400 mile trip, we have the fraction: 400/g, g being the amount of gallons it took to make that trip.

Now we can set up the proportion: \frac{270}{18} =\frac{400}{g}

Cross multiply and solve accordingly.

\frac{270}{18} =\frac{400}{g}

400270g = 400 *18\\ 270g = 7200\\g=26\frac{2}{3}/g

So the answer is:

It takes 26 2/3 gallons to make a 400 mile trip.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Part A

The rotation of the point (x, y) 180° about the origin gives the point (-x, -y)

Therefore, we have the points, ΔLMN, L(1, 1), and M(2, 2), and N(3, 3)

The coordinates of the vertices of the image, ΔL'M'N' are L'(-1, -1), and M'(-2, -2), and N'(-3, -3)

Please find attached the graph of triangle ΔLMN and ΔL'M'N'

Part B

The lines drawn through L and L' and through M and M' are colinear

Part C

A line is defined by two points, such as <em>L </em>and <em>M.</em> Rotation of a line through 180° about the origin will give an image location on the same path as the extension of the original line.

The third point, <em>N</em>, however, defines a plane, and the rotation of a plane by 180° will give an image which is turned upside down with regards to the preimage

Therefore, a trough in the preimage becomes a peak in the image and the lines drawn through N and N' crosses the colinear lines drawn throgh M and M' and L and L'

Find the slope Y=5x+12
NikAS [45]

Answer: The slope = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in the slope -intercept form is given by :-

y=mx+c

,where  m= slope , c= y-intercept.

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Given: Equation of line : Y= 5x+12

Here Slope (m)=5

Hence, the slope = 5.

Identify the solution(s) of the system of equations, if any.<br> -6x - 4y = 12<br> 12y = -18x - 36
UkoKoshka [18]
-6x - 4y = 12|\div 2\\&#10;12y = -18x - 36|\div 6\\\\&#10;-3x-2y=6\\&#10;2y=-3x-6\\\\&#10;-3x-2y=6\\&#10;-3x-2y=6

Both equations are equivalent, so there are infinitely many solutions.
