Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/2 times -(4/5)
First multiply 3 1/2 and -(4/5)=2 4/5
Let x and y represent the numbers of gallons used by the 40 mpg and 35 mpg cars, respectively.
.. x +y = 40 . . . . . . . . . . .total consumption is 40 gallons
.. 40x +35y = 1525 . . . . total miles driven = 1525
Multiply the first equation by 40 and subtract the second.
.. 40(x +y) -(40x +35y) = 40(40) -(1525)
.. 5y = 75
.. y = 15
.. x = 40 -15 = 25
The 40 mpg car consumed 25 gallons.
The 35 mpg car consumed 15 gallons.
The answer is 7x/12 - 1/2. Its the first option in your picture. Hope this helps .
<span>(5x^7 y^2)(-4x^4 y^5) =-20x^a y^b
</span><span>
solve this:
(5x^7 y^2)(-4x^4 y^5)
= -20 x^(7 + 4) y^(2 + 5)
= -20 x^11 y^7
