Answer:
a) 1/7 liters of petrol is used for each mile
Step-by-step explanation:
Justin fills his car with 40 litres of petrol. After travelling 35 miles it's down to 35 litres.
From the above statement:.
The difference is :
40 litres - 35 liters = 5 liters
Hence:
After travelling 35 miles he used 5 liters
(a) How much petrol does the car use each mile?
This is calculated as:
35 miles = 5 Liters
1 mile = x liters
Cross Multiply
35x = 5 Liters
x = 5/35
x = 1/7 liters
Hence, for each mile, 1/7 liters of petrol is used
The number 1.41421356.... is a(n) rational number because its a repeating decimal that can be written as a fraction.
5x-2y = -10
Multiply by 6
= 30x -12y=-60
3x+6y = 66
Multiply by 2
= 6x+12y = 132
So
30x-12y=-60
6x+12y=132
Add those variables
36x= 72
X= 2

This is called the Pythagorean theorem : a ² + b ² = c ². You can substitute any of the variable with any of the known numbers and then you all you have to do is isolate the variable. I hope that helps!!
