Answer:

Write the written problem into an equation to get:

3x +2 = 5x -4

To solve:

Add 4 to each side:

3x+6 = 5x

Subtract 3x from each side:

2x = 6

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 6/2

x = 3

You didn't list the options so it could like like any of the equations I show above.

If there are approximately 1.8 million cars in Vancouver and if each car travels an average of 17,500 kilometres in a year, how

Goryan [66]

Rates are used to measure a quantity over another.

<em>The 1.8 million cars use </em> $1.85 \times 10^{10}$ <em> liters each year</em>

Given

$Cars = 1.8\ million$

$d = 17500km$ --- distance

$r = 40miles/gallon$

First, we calculate the number (n) of gallons used by each car

$r = \frac{d}{n}$

Solve for n

$n = \frac{d}{r}$

So, we have:

$n = \frac{17500km}{40miles/gallon}$

$n = \frac{17500km}{40miles}gallon$

Convert miles to kilometers

$n = \frac{17500km}{40km \times 1.60934}gallon$

$n = \frac{17500km}{64.3738km}gallon$

$n = 271.85\ gallon$

The number of gallons (N), used by all the cars is:

$N = n \times cars$

$N = 271.85 \times 1.8\ million$

$N = 489330000$

Convert to liters

$N = 489330000 \times 3.78541L$

$N = 1852314675.3L$

In scientific notation to 2 decimal places, we have:

$N = 1.85 \times 10^{10}L$

<em>Hence, the number of liters used is </em> $1.85 \times 10^{10}$ <em />

There are 24 people using the gym the ratio of men to women is 2:1 how many men are using the gym?

elixir [45]

I find it easier if you draw out people(not perfectly just make a circle or something) and then circle every 2 people to count for the men. There are 16 men in the gym.

A student solved 6x+4=2(x−8) in four steps as shown:

mr_godi [17]

The first thing you should do is solve the equation yourself.

1) Distribute the 2.
6x + 4 = 2x – 16

2) Next, you'll want to get the x's on one side. So add -2x to both sides.
6x + 4 + -2x = 2x + -2x - 16
4x + 4 = -16

3) Now subtract 4 from both sides
4x + 4 – 4 = -16 – 4
4x = -12

4) Finally, divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -12/4
x = –3

To solve this problem all you need to do is look back out you work, and figure out the correct solution. The answer the question is The student made an error in Step 1.

Answer:

Option (1) will be the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the points A and B lying on the line f are (0, 2) and (2, 0) respectively.

Slope of the line f,

$m_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$m_{1}=\frac{2-0}{0-2}$

$m_{1}=-1$

After dilation of line f by a scale factor of 2, coordinates of A' and B' will be,

Rule for dilation,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

Where k = scale factor

A(0, 2) → A'(0, 4)

B(2, 0) → B'(4, 0)

Slope of line f',

$m_{2}=\frac{0-4}{4-0}$

$m_{2}=-1$

Since, $m_{1}=m_{2}=-1$

Therefore, both the lines f and f' will be parallel.

Option (1) will be the answer.
