Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Badwater = -282ft$

$Telescope\ Peak = 11043ft$

The position of badwater is negated because it is below sea level

The interpretation of the question, is to calculate the distance between the two given points.

This is calculated as:

$Difference = Telescope\ Peak - Badwater$

$Difference = 11043ft - (-282ft)$

Open bracket

$Difference = 11043ft+282ft$

$Difference = 11325ft$

<em>Hence, the distance between both is 11325ft</em>

What is 18/48 simplify

Y_Kistochka [10]

Hmm they're both even numbers so maybe we can start by cutting each number in half.
$\rm \dfrac{18}{48}=\dfrac{9\cdot2}{24\cdot2}=\dfrac{9}{24}$
18 and 48 had 2 as a common factor.
So factoring a 2 out of each number was the same as cutting each number in half. Try to do something similar with the 9 and 24. They each have something in common.

Ray has found that his new car gets 31 miles per gallon on the highwayand 26 miles per gallon in the city. He recently drove 285

Mkey [24]

Answer:

$Highway = 155\ miles$

$City = 130\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Highway = 31mi/gallon$

$City = 26mi/gallon$

$Total\ Miles = 285$

$Total\ Gallons = 10$

Required

Determine the number of miles driven on the highway and on the city

Represent the gallons used on highway with h and on city with c.

So, we have:

$c + h = 10$ ---- gallons used

and

$31h + 26c = 285$ --- distance travelled

In the first equation, make c the subject

$c = 10 - h$

Substitute 10 - h for c in the second equation

$31h + 26c = 285$

$31h + 26(10 - h) = 285$

Open bracket

$31h + 260 - 26h = 285$

Collect like terms

$31h - 26h = 285 - 260$

$5h = 25$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{25}{5}$

$h = 5$

Substitute 5 for h in $c = 10 - h$

$c = 10 - 5$

$c = 5$

If on the highway, he travels 31 miles per gallon, then his distance on the highway is:

$Highway = 31 * 5$

$Highway = 155\ miles$

If in the highway, he travels 26 miles per gallon, then his distance on the highway is:

$City = 26 * 5$

$City = 130\ miles$

If ab= 7x-6 and bc= 12-2x. Then what does ac equal?

ra1l [238]

Ab = (7x-6) → b = (7x-6)/a (1)

bc = (12-2x) → b = (12-2x)/c (2)

Since (1) = (2) → (7x-6)/a = (12-2x)/c OR a/c = (7x-6)/(12-2x) (3)

Multiply both numerators of (3) by the SQUARE of their respective denominators;

(a*c²)/c = (7x-6)(12-2x)²/(12-2x)
Now simplify:

ac = (7x-6)(12x-2x) or ac = -14x² + 96x - 72
