The equation y = -0.04x + 12 gives the number of gallons of gas in your car where x is the number of miles drivene
easy
y=gas left
x=miles
sub 200 for x
y=-0.04(200)+12
y=-8+12
y=4
4 gallons left
Answer: -2 4/15
Step-by-step explanation: To properly subtract, we need to find a common denominator. We can list the multiples of 3 and 5 to find the common denominator:
3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
5: 5, 10, 15
The first common multiple we see is 15.
Calculation:
3 · 3 = 9
9 + 1 = 10
3 1/3 = 10/3
5 x 5 = 25
25 + 3 = 28
-5 3/5 = -28/5
Now to convert into fifteen as the denominator:
-28/5 = -28 x 3/5 x 3 = -84/15
10/3 = 10 x 5/3 x 5 = 50/15
Now to subtract accordingly:
50/15 - 84/15 = -34/15
Final answer: -34/15 (can be reduced to -2 4/15).
Answer:
-9
Step-by-step explanation:
2(-x)² - 5 = 157
2x² - 5 = 157
add 5 to each side of the equation:
2x² = 162
divide both sides by 2:
x² = 81
√81 = 9 or -9
The factor of 12 is (3*4)
So, you are 4
