Josiah would need 10 gallons to travel 265 miles.

First we divide 79.5 by 3 to find out how many gallons are needed for one mile.

79.5/3=26.5

For one mile we need 26.5 gallons of gas.

Now we will divide 265 by 26.5 to find the answer to the problem.

265/26.5=10

Josiah will need 10 gallons of gas to travel 265 miles

Answer:

Option B. 10 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Josiah traveled 79.5 miles on 3 gallons of gasoline.

We have to calculate the amount of gasoline he would need to travel 265 miles.

∵ Josiah can travel on 3 gallon of gasoline = 79.5 miles

∴ He can travel on 1 gallon of gasoline = \frac{79.5}{3}

                                                                =  26.5 miles

∴ He would need the amount of gasoline to travel 265 miles = \frac{265}{26.5}

                                                                 = 10 gallons

He would need 10 gallons of gasoline to travel 265 miles.

What are the exact solutions of x2 − 5x − 7 = 0, where x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 ti
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{53}}{2}  or  x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{53}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x^2 - 5x - 7 = 0

Required

Solve for x using:

x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

First, we need to identify a, b and c

The general form of a quadratic equation is:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

So, by comparison with x^2 - 5x - 7 = 0

a = 1     b = -5      c = -7

Substitute these values of a, b and c in

x = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

x = \frac{-(-5) \± \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4 * 1 * -7}}{2 * 1}

x = \frac{5 \± \sqrt{25 +28}}{2}

x = \frac{5 \± \sqrt{53}}{2}

Split the expression to two

x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{53}}{2}  or  x = \frac{5 - \sqrt{53}}{2}

To solve further in decimal form, we have

x = \frac{5 + 7.28}{2}  or  x = \frac{5 - 7.28}{2}

x = \frac{12.28}{2}  or  x = \frac{-2.28}{2}

x = 6.14 or x = -1.14
