Work out the value of a and b in the identity.<br> 3ax + 6 - 4(x + b)= 11x + 14
Levart [38]

Answer:

a=5, b=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the equation, you get:

3ax +6 -4x -4b - 11x - 14 = 0 =>

3ax - 15x -4b -8 = 0

group together x's and constants:

(3a-15)x -8 -4b = 0

To make this 0 for all x, we have to find an a such that 3a-15 = 0 and b such that -8-4b = 0. this leads to a=5, b=-2

victus00 [196]

Answer:

d) 105.7\ \text{gallons}

Step-by-step explanation:

150\ \text{miles} requires 45.3\ \text{gallons of fuel}

1\ \text{mile} requires \dfrac{45.3}{150}\ \text{gallons of fuel}

200\ \text{miles} requires 200\times \dfrac{45.3}{150}=60.4\ \text{gallons of fuel}

So, total amount of gasoline required for the trip is 60.4+45.3=105.7\ \text{gallons}.
