Answer:

C) 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You do 7.7 divided by 2.2 which gives you 3.5. Then just divide the exponents seperately and when dividing you subtract the exponents. Since you are subtracting you will have (-2)-(-2) and when you subtract a negative number it becomes addition because the two -- cancel out. So it is -2+2 which is equal to 0. 10 to the power of 0 (or any number to the power of 0) is always equal to 1. So 3.5 x 1 is the answer which gives you C.

Answer:

$x = 14$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, the following equation is generated given the available information:

$\frac{(x + 7) + x)}{x + 7} = \frac{12 + 8}{12}$

$\frac{2x + 7}{x + 7} = \frac{20}{12}$

$\frac{2x + 7}{x + 7} = \frac{5}{3}$

Cross multiply

$3(2x + 7) = 5(x + 7)$

$6x + 21 = 5x + 35$

Collect like terms

$6x - 5x = - 21 + 35$

$x = - 21 + 35$

$x = 14$

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the unknown side of the right triangle.

Nesterboy [21]

The length of hypotenuse is 39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Vertical side = a = 15

Horizontal side = b = 36

Hypotenuse = c

Using pythagorean theorem

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(15)^2+(36)^2=c^2\\225+1296=c^2\\1521=c^2\\c^2=1521$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{1521}\\c=39$

The length of hypotenuse is 39.

A truck uses 1 gallon of diesel for every 12 miles traveled. The amount of diesel left in the gas tank, r gallons, after traveli

Snezhnost [94]

<em>The question has missing details. However, general questions that could be asked is as follows:</em>

<em>(1) The number of miles traveled after using (say) 5 gallons</em>

<em>(2) The number of gallons used after traveling for (say) 36 miles</em>

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$s = 120 - 12r$

A linear equation is represented as:

$y = c + mx$

Where

$c =y\ intercept$ and

$m = slope.$

c, in this question represents the initial capacity of the tank.

So, the initial capacity is 120 liters

Solving (a): r = 5

$s = 120 - 12r$

$s = 120 - 12 * 5$

$s = 120 - 60$

$s = 60$

<em>60 miles traveled</em>

Solving (b): s = 36

$s = 120 - 12r$

$36 = 120 - 2r$

Collect like terms

$2r =120 -36$

$2r =84$

Solve for r

$r = 42$

<em>42 gallons used</em>
