Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

In a 4 minute, the shower uses an average of 20-40 gallons of water,

If we consider the maximum gallons of water,

In 4 minutes, the maximum gallons of water = 40

In 1 minute, the maximum gallons of water is given by

$\frac{40}{4}=10$

In 18 minutes, the maximum gallons of water is given by

$18\times 10=180\ gallons$

Hence, Option 'D' is correct.

x2y - 2xy - 24y = y(x2 - 2x - 24) What is the completely factored form of x2y – 2xy – 24y? (xy + 4)(x – 6) xy(x + 4)(x – 6) y(x

likoan [24]

we are given

$x^2y-2xy-24y=y(x^2-2x-24)$

now, we can factor out right side term

$x^2-2x-24=x^2-6x+4x-6*4$

$x^2-2x-24=(x-6)(x+4)$

now, we can plug back

and we get

so,

$x^2y-2xy-24y=y(x-6)(x+4)$ .............Answer

Figure 1 is dilated to get Figure 2.

Anastasy [175]

Answer: 2.25

Divide the corresponding values. You'll divide figure 2's length over figure 1's corresponding length. So 18/8 = 2.25

This means each side of figure 2 is 2.25 times larger than the corresponding side for figure 1

(½) (6x + 3) = 7 – (3x + 1)

erastovalidia [21]

$\tt Step-by-step~explanation:$

To solve for x, we have to remember to isolate the variable.

$\tt Step~1:$

For 1/2, we can make that 0.5, since their values are equivalent. Our equation:

$\tt (0.5)(6x+3)=7-(3x+1)$

Let's distribute the 0.5 first.

$\tt 0.5*6x=3x\\0.5*3=1.5$

$\tt Step~2:$

Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation. We have to distribute the negative to 3x and 1.

$\tt -1*3x=-3x\\-1*1=-1$

Then, we simplify the entire expression.

$\tt 7-3x-1=-3x+6$

$\tt Step~3:$

Our equation now:

$\tt 3x+1.5=-3x+6$

Let's add 3x to the right and 3x to the left to simplify the -3x on the right side of the equation.

$\tt 3x(+3x)+1.5=-3x (3x)+6\\6x+1.5=6$

$\tt Step~4:$

Let's do the same thing we did in Step 3 to 1.5. Subtract 1.5 on both sides of the equation.

$\tt 6x+1.5(-1.5)=6(-1.5)\\6x=4.5$

$\tt Step~5:$

Finally, we divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.

$\tt \frac{6x}{6} =x\\\frac{4.5}{6}= 0.75~or~\frac{3}{4}$

$\large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answer:~x=0.75~(or~\frac{3}{4})}$

(3a) You spend $72 on tapes and CDs. Each tape costs $8 and each CD costs $12.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

3a. 8t + 12c = 72

3b. t + c = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

number of tapes is t

number of Cds is c

so 8t + 12c = 72

and t + c = 7

so t = 7 - c

replace t = 7 - c in to the first equation

8(7 - c) + 12c = 72

56 - 8c + 12c = 72

4c = 72 - 56 = 16

c = 4

if c = 4, then t = 7 - c = 7 - 4 = 3
