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.

shutvik [7]

After 10 weeks, the boys will have same amount in savings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Roberto already have $30.

Amount saved each week = $5

Let,

x be the number of weeks.

R(x) = 30+5x

Amount saved by Jack each week = $8

J(x) = 8x

For same amount, the functions will be equal.

R(x) = J(x)

30+5x=8x\\30=8x-5x\\30=3x\\3x=30

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{30}{3}\\x=10

After 10 weeks, the boys will have same amount in savings.

The time spent to travel a certain distance varies inversely as a car's speed. If it takes 5½ hours to travel a certain distance
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6.6h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • So it takes 5.5 hours going at a speed of 60 miles per hour, multiply these two and we get a distance of 330 miles
  • Use this distance to find the time if speed is 50 miles per hour, so time is derived by dividing the distance by the speed
  • 330 miles divide by 50 miles per hour gives 6.6 hours
