Answer:

Let's assume John gets p for each day so his total is 4p. He spends half of that on gas, (4p)/2 = 2p. He has 2p left. Now subtract 5 from 2p for the coffee, and there is 35 left. So 2p - 5 = 35. Right? Now you can solve for p, by simplifying that equation.

Simplify the given expression. (16x^2 + 15xy – 19y^2) – (3x^2 – 3xy)
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

-19 y^2 + 18 x y + 13 x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

16 x^2 + 15 x y - 19 y^2 - (3 x^2 - 3 x y)

Factor 3 x out of 3 x^2 - 3 x y:

16 x^2 + 15 x y - 19 y^2 - 3 x (x - y)

-3 x (x - y) = 3 x y - 3 x^2:

16 x^2 + 15 x y - 19 y^2 + 3 x y - 3 x^2

Grouping like terms, 16 x^2 + 15 x y - 19 y^2 - 3 x^2 + 3 x y = -19 y^2 + (15 x y + 3 x y) + (16 x^2 - 3 x^2):

-19 y^2 + (15 x y + 3 x y) + (16 x^2 - 3 x^2)

x y 15 + x y 3 = 18 x y:

-19 y^2 + 18 x y + (16 x^2 - 3 x^2)

16 x^2 - 3 x^2 = 13 x^2:

Answer:  -19 y^2 + 18 x y + 13 x^2

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

f(x) = 30 • 0.989x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

10 26.8

20 23.9

30 21.3

40 19

50 16.9

60 15.1

Using technology, the exponential model equation obtained by plotting the data is :

y = 30.068(0.989)^x

Based on the general exponential formula :

y = ab^x

y = predicted value

Initial value, a = 30.068

Rate = b = 0.989

The most appropriate model equation from the options given is :

f(x) = 30 • 0.989^x

Which of the following is equivalent to a real number?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

C) -144^¹/₃

Step-by-step explanation:

Having a number to the power of a fraction is the equivalent of rooting by its reciprocal. So, the sixth root, fourth root, cube root, and square root. Only odd roots can have negative answers (∛x, x can be negative; √y, y can not be negative unless we talk about imaginary numbers).

Since we are looking for a real number, C, showing a cube root of a negative number, must be the answer.

Ben drinks water everyday. He drinks 3 1/2 liters of water every 1/4 of an hour. Ben drinks water at a constant rate. How many l
Setler79 [48]

Ben drinks 3 1/2 liters of tea every 40 minutes.

This means that he would drink 1 3/4 of tea every 20 minutes (divide both sides by 2).

Now, let's multiply each side by 3.  

1.75 * 3 = 5.25 (aka 5 1/4)

20 * 3 = 60 minutes (an hour)

He drinks 5 1/4 liters of tea in one hour.
