<h3>Answer: Choice D.  12,600 feet</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

We have two similar triangles here, so we can set up the proportion below to solve for x

5200/(5200+6500) = 5600/x

5200/11700 = 5600/x

5200x = 11700*5600 .... cross multiply

5200x = 65,520,000

x = (65,520,000)/(5200)

x = 12,600 which shows why the answer is choice D

side note: 12,600 ft = 2.386 miles approximately

Ksenya-84 [330]

Consider the contrapositive of the statement you want to prove.

The contrapositive of the logical statement

<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>

is

¬<em>q</em> ⇒ ¬<em>p</em>

In this case, the contrapositive claims that

"If there are no scalars <em>α</em> and <em>β</em> such that <em>c</em> = <em>α</em><em>a</em> + <em>β</em><em>b</em>, then <em>a₁b₂</em> - <em>a₂b₁</em> = 0."

The first equation is captured by a system of linear equations,

\begin{cases}c_1 = \alpha a_1 + \beta b_1\\ c_2 = \alpha a_2 + \beta b_2\end{cases}

or in matrix form,

\begin{pmatrix}c_1\\c_2\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}\alpha\\\beta\end{pmatrix}

If this system has no solution, then the coefficient matrix on the right side must be singular and its determinant would be

\begin{vmatrix}a_1&b_1\\a_2&b_2\end{vmatrix} = a_1b_2-a_2b_1 = 0

and this is what we wanted to prove. QED

What’s 7,040 divide by 3 using long division
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Dividing 7,040 by 3 using long division method it gives the quotient  <u>2346</u> and the remainder <u>2</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

7,040 divide by 3 using long division.

Now, to divide using long division method:

Step 1: Divide 7 by 3. 3 x 2 =6.

So, 1 will be remainder.

Step 2: Bring 0 down next to 1. So, now the new number is 10 .

Divide 10 by 3. 3 x 3 = 9.

Remainder is 1

So, quotient  is 23 till now.

Step 3: Bring 4 down next to 1. The number is now 14.

Divide 14 by 3. 3 x 4 = 12.

Thus, remainder is 2.

Step 4: Bring 0 next to 2. Getting the new number 20.

So, divide 20 by 3. 3 x 6 = 18.

Thus, the remainder is 2.

So, the quotient is 2346.

And the remainder is 2.

Therefore, dividing 7,040 by 3 using long division method it gives the quotient 2346 and the remainder 2.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer: 14 gallons of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

25(x + 3) = 424

where x is the number of gallon of gasoline needed to purchase.

Solution.

25(x + 3) = 424

first we open the bracket

25x + 75 = 424

collect like terms

25x = 424 – 75

25x = 349

divide both sides by 25

25x/25 = 349/25

x = 13.96

x = 14

mathew needs to get 14 gallons of gasoline.
