Car A consumes 25 gallon and car B consumes 15 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The fuel efficiency of car A = 20 miles per gallon.

The fuel efficiency of car B = 15 miles per gallon.

In a week, two cars went 725 miles and consumed 40 gallons.

To find the consumption of each car in that week.

Let,

Car A consumed x gallon

Car B consumed y gallon.

According to the problem,

x+y = 40 ----- (1)

20x+15y = 725

or, 4x+3y = 145 -------- (2)

From (1) we get, x = 40-y

Putting the value of x in (2) we get,

4(40-y)+3y = 145

or, 160-4y+3y = 145

or, -y = 145-160

or, y = 15

From (1) we get, x = 40-15 = 25

Hence,

Car A consumes 25 gallon and car B consumes 15 gallon.

svetoff [14.1K]
12 x 2 = 24

When you multiply two negative numbers, the answer will be a positive
When you multiply one negative and one positive, the answer will be negative.


Using that rule:

(-12)(-2) = 24

24 is your answer

hope this helps

Find the equation of the parable in general form by completing the square. Then, state its vertex
lora16 [44]
The parabola will show the vertex in the format: y-k = (x-h)^2, where the vertex point
lies at (h, k).
so \: for \:  {x}^{2}  + 2x - y + 3 = 0
let's first put it in "y =" standard format:
y =  {x}^{2}  + 2x + 3
Since we cannot get a perfect square out of this, we complete the square: a=1, b=2, c=3
(b/2)^2 = (2/2)^2 = 1, so
y =  {(x +1)}^{2} ...\: is \: y =  {x}^{2}  + 2x + 1
So there's +2 leftover, since 3-1=2; so:
y =  {(x + 1)}^{2}  + 2
Now we'll subtract the 2 from both sides to show our vertex:
y - 2 =  {(x + 1)}^{2}
where our vertex (h, k) is at (-1, 2)

A football field is 300ft long a sloth moving very quickly travels 60ft every 5 minutes based on this ratio how many minutes wou
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

25 minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the ratio of the total distance traveled  to the total time taken to reach this distance. The formula for speed is:

Speed = total distance / total time taken

The total distance covered by the sloth = 60 ft, and the time taken = 5 minutes, hence:

Speed = total distance / total time taken

speed of the sloth = 60 ft / 5 minutes = 12 ft per minute.

We can calculate the time taken for the sloth to travel the length of the football field (i.e. 300 ft)

speed = distance / time

12 ft/minute = 300 ft / time

time = 300 ft / (12 ft/minute)

time = 25 minute
