Answer:

Hence, ||| only is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

" By the integer '-3' we mean there is a decrease in the quantity of anything or that it is lacking behind ".

| statement: You gain 3 pounds

is a positive quantity as there is gain of something. so integer '+3' will be used to define it.

|| statement: You set your clock 3 hours ahead.

is also a positive quantity as the time is leading by 3 hours; so integer '+3' will be used to define it.

||| statement: You use 3 gallons of gas.

is a negative quantity as after the usage of 3 gallons of gas the quantity of gas will decrease so integer '-3' will be used to define it.

Hence, ||| only is the correct option.

The correct answer would be number 3 only because you are taking away when you have a negative number. SO u are taking away 3 gallons of gas.

(x+2y = 10 16y=-3x+30

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

x = 10, y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 10

x = 10 - 2y (Bring the 2y to the right)

16y = -3x + 30

16y = -3(10 - 2y) + 30 (Substitute x to 10 - 2y)

16y = -30 + 6y + 30 (Expand brackets)

10y = 0 (Bring y to the left)

y = 0

x = 10 - 2(0) (Substitute y = 0)

x = 10

x = 10, y = 0

The cost of 24 bottles of water is $6. Which expression shows how to find the cost of 10 bottles of water?

yaroslaw [1]

So first you need to find out how much one water bottle cost.
6/24= 0.25
Okay now you need to find how much it would cost for 10.
so you would times 10 by $0.25:
10*0.25= $2.50
So $2.50 would be you answer.
Hope that helps!!
Have a wonderful day!!
