7 0

First use distrib. property of mult.
9(2x-8) = 5x - 7 so
18x - 72 = 5x -7
18x-5x = -7+72
13x = 65
13/13x = 65/13
x = 5
Check Ans: 18*5 -72 = 5*5-7
18 = 18 √

<span>9(2x --8) =5x-7
</span>step 1: simplify 18x - 72 = 5x - 7
23x = -79
step 2: solve it x = -3.43

A delivery company has 18 vehicles in its fleet.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: £1517.04

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel expenses for the vans will be calculated as:

Vans:

Since the average distance travelled per day is 198km and the average distance travelled per litre is 9km, the van would use:

= 198/9

= 22 litres

Since there are 8 vans, they'll use:

= 22 × 8 = 176 liters

Trucks:

Since the average distance travelled per day is 620km and the average distance travelled per litre is 6.2km, the truck would use:

= 620/6.2

= 100

Since there are 10 trucks, they'll use:

= 100 × 10 = 1000 liters

The amount of liters for both the van and the truck will be:

= 176 liters + 1000 liters

= 1176 liters

The fuel cost will then be:

= 1176 × 1£1.29

= £1517.04

Given the equation y = 4x - 3.A) If x increases by 1 unit, what is the corresponding change in y? B) If x decreases by 5 units,

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A) y will increase by 4 unit.

B) y will decrease by 20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation that shows relation between x and y.

$y=4x-3$

A) If x is increased by 4 units

New value of y = $4(x+1)-3$

$=4x+4-3$

$=4x+1$

So, change in y = new value of y- original value of y

$=4x+1-(4x-3)$

$=4x+1-4x+3$

$=4$

Thus, the value of y will be increased by 4 units.

B) If x is decreased by 5 units

New value of y = $4(x-5)-3$

$=4x-20-3$

$=4x-23$

So, change in y = new value of y- original value of y

$=4x+1-(4x-3)$

$=4x-23-(4x-3)$

$=4x-23-4x+3$

= -20

Thus, the value of y will be decreased by 20 units.
