The answer is 2s-8 because have to multiply then subtract
Based on the picture, we know that ED is equal to DB. Therefore:
2 times ED=EB
2(10)=20
EB is 20
Its simple all you have to do is multiply because if the cost per gallon is $2.50 and you have a total of 4,310 then you just multiply 4,310*$2.50 and it equals $10775 hope it helps :))
To find the slope of the above equation, it is easiest to put it into slope-intercept form, y=mx + b, where the variable m represents the slope. To do this, we must isolate the variable y on the left side of the equation by using the reverse order of operations. First, we should subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.
3x + 6y = 9
6y = -3x + 9
Next, we should divide both sides of the equation by 6 to undo the coefficent of 6 on the variable y.
y = -1/2x + 3/2
Therefore, the slope of the line is -1/2 (the coefficient of the variable x in slope-intercept form).
Hope this helps!
The contestant must answer at least 33 questions correctly in order to end up with over 350 total points. The 100 they start off with means that they should really only have to answer 25 questions correctly, but this is not the case. 33 x 10 = 330, plus the first 100 = 430. This is necessary as a buffer, seeing as how if they get every question other than the necessary 33 wrong, it will be a reduction of 68 points total (17 incorrect, which is minus 4 = 68)
(430 - 68 = 362). I hope this was thoroughly explained and broken down! Best of luck!!
