Answer:
42.5 or 43
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you need to travel 850 miles, and you can travel 20 miles per gallon, you should divide 850 by 20 to get the number of gas cans needed. In doing so, you get 42.5 gas cans, but since it may be asking for whole cans rather than part of a gas can, you might want to write 43 instead. If you were to round down to 42, you would not have enough gas to finish the trip, so you should round up to 43. So, it is up to you if you want to write 42.5 or 43.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x + 2
6x – 2y = 10
Ryan’s answer:
I solved by adding the equations. The solution is .
y = 3x + 2 → 3x + y = 2
6x – 2y = 10 → 3x – y = 5
6x = 7
x =
6x – 2y = 10 → 6 – 2y = 10
7 – 2y = 10
–2y = –3
y = -
Jesse’s answer:
I used matrices. The solution is .
Mark’s answer:
I graphed the equations. The lines are parallel and do not intersect, so there is no solution.
Answer:
64 boys.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 girls for every 8 boys.
24/3 = 8
8 * 8 = 64
Since we have two ordered pairs, we can find the slope by plugging them into (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) which translates to (3-(-6))/(-4-(-1))=9/-3=-3
Since the slope is -3, we have the equation y=-3x+b, but we don't know b. So we plug in values for x and y and solve for b.
-6=-3(-1)+b
-6=3+b
-9=b
So the y-intercept is -9 and the full equation is y=-3x-9 which means A is the only correct answer.

Answer:
17,37
Step-by-step explanation:
one number = x
The positive number = 2x + 3
x * (2x+3) = 629
x*2x + x *3 = 629
2x² + 3x - 629 = 0
2x² - 34x + 37x - 17*37 =0
2x*(x -17) + 37(x - 17) = 0
(x - 17)(2x + 37) = 0
x - 17 = 0 ; Ignore 2x + 37 as s is a positive number
x = 17
Positive number = 2*17 +3 = 34+3 = 37
