The integer to represent a gain of 9 pounds would be _____

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

professor190 [17]

The fuel consumption of each of the cars during the week are as follows;

The first car consumes 20 gallons of fuel.

The second car consumes 30 gallons of fuel.

Reasons:

Fuel efficiency of the first car = 15 miles per gallon

Fuel efficiency of the second car = 35 miles per gallon

Combined distance traveled by the two cars in a week = 1,350 miles

The total gas consumption during the week = 50 gallons

Let x represent the number of gallons consumed by the first car, and let y

represent the number of gallons consumed by the second car, we get the

following system of simultaneous equations;

15·x + 35·y = 1,350...(1)

x + y = 50...(2)

Therefore;

y = 50 - x

Which gives;

15·x + 35 × (50 - x) = 1,350

15·x + 1,750 - 35·x = 1,350

1,750 - 1,350 = 35·x - 15·x = 20·x

400 = 20·x

x = 400 ÷ 20 = 20

The number of gallons consumed by the first car, x = 20 gallons

From equation (2), we have;

x + y = 50

y = 50 - x

Therefore;

y = 50 - 20 = 30

The number of gallons consumed by the second car, y = 30 gallons

Help me plz it’s confusing

X+8>= 18
therefore, the circle has to be on ten, (solid) and an arrow pointing to the right,
10+8>=18 which is true.

-7+x>= -8
the circle is going to be on -1, (solid) and pointing to the right.
-7 +-1 (-8) >=-8 which is true, then -7 +0>= -8 which is true
n-2<=4 so, the answer is a dot (solid) on 6 pointing to the left
6-2 (4) <=4 then 5-2 (3) <= 4 which both are true

-18+n<-7
so this answer is going to be on 10, and it will be a hollow dot, pointing to the left
-18+10 (-8) <-7 which is true
n-4>=13
so, this has to be greater than or equal to 13.
n must be greater than or equal to 17 (add 4 to both sides) so the dot (solid) is going to be on 17 and pointing to the right.

NOTICE: I had a different explanation for number 9, which is how I figured each one out.
Hope this helped! Sorry it took so long!

In a quadratic function, $f(x)= ax^2+bx+c$ the leading coefficient is $a$ , i.e. the coefficient of $x^2$ , and the constant term is $c$ , i.e. the coefficient without any power of $x$ .
