Answer:

The number of commercial orbital launches is equal to 19 and the number of noncommercial orbital launches is equal to 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The number of noncommercial orbital launches was two more than twice the number of commercial orbital launches.

Let's say that the number of commercial orbital launches is equal to x. Now, the number of noncommercial orbital launches is equal to 2x+2.

We are told that if we add the number of commercial and noncommercial orbital launches together we will get 59.

Therefore, if we add 2x+2 with x we should get 59:

2x+2+x=59

3x+2=59

3x=57

x=19

This is how we can come to the answer that the number of commercial orbital launches is equal to 19 and the number of noncommercial orbital launches is equal to 40 (2x+2=2*19+2=38+2=40).

Hope this helps!

At the local gas station gasoline costs $2.75 for per gallon and diesel costs $3.02 per gallon. Gabriel needs to purchase 15.2 g
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The total amount paid by Gabriel at the local gas station is $70.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of gasoline per gallon = $2.75

Cost of diesel per gallon = $3.02

Amount of gasoline Gabriel needs = 15.2 gallons

Amount of diesel Gabriel needs = 9.5 gallons

Compute the total amount paid by Gabriel at the local gas station as follows:

Total Cost = Cost of gasoline × Amount of gasoline

                           + Cost of diesel × Amount of diesel

                =(2.75\times 15.2)+(3.02\times 9.5)\\\\=41.8+28.69\\\\=70.49

Thus, the total amount paid by Gabriel at the local gas station is $70.49.
