You can use a system of equations to answer this question.

1st:  2.20r + 3p = 700 is showing how to get the total cost.
2nd: r + p = 300 shows how many gallons were sold.

If we solve r + p = 300 for r, we can then solve the first equation in terms of r only.

r + p =300
p = 300 - r  Use this in place of p in the first equation.

2.20r + 3p = 700
2.2r + 3(300 - r) = 700
2.2r + 900 - 3r = 700
       -900            -900
2.2r - 3r = -200
<u>-0.8r </u>= <u>-200</u>
-0.8     -0.8
r = 250 gallons

There were 250 regular gallons sold and 50 premium gallons sold (300 - 250).

The length of a rectangle is 4 less than three times its width. The perimeter is 72 feet. What are the dimensions of the rectang
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Say width equals x.
Length = 3x - 4
Solve for x: 72 = 2(3x - 4) + 2x
72=6x-8+2x
80=8x
X=10
So width = 10
Length= 3(10) - 4 = 26

Rearrange so that there is no zero or negative exponent. 2m^0 n^-4
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

2/n^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Anything to the zero power will become 1 so the m^0 will be 1 and that leaves just 2 in its place. Anything to a negative exponent is equal to its reciprocal so n^-1= 1/n^4. Then you multiple what remains, (2 x 1/n^4) to get the above answer.
