Answer:

We suppose that a is the old price in cents

the total cost of 9.20 $ equals 920 cents

so we have 20 liters bought with the old price (a) and 10 liters with the new price (a + 2). This is translated into this equation where a is the old price therefore our quest to be answered

20 xa + 10 x (a + 2) = 920 (cents)

20 xa + 10 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa = 920 - 20

30 xa = 900

a = 900: 30

a = 30 (cents)

therefore the old price for 1 liter of petrol is 30 cents

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

F(x) = x3 – 4x² - 6x – 32 at x = 6
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

X= 140

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x3 – 4x² - 6x – 32 at x = 6

(6)(6)(6) -4²=72

-6(6)-32= -68

72+68=140

Simplify the equation -4d - 37 = 7d + 18
exis [7]

Answer:

d=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-4d-37=7d +18

move the terms to its correct side

-4d-7d=18+37

calculate the like terms together.

-11d=55

divide both sides by -11. both of the negavtive (-11) will cancel out and become d on the left and on the right 55 will be divided by -11 = -5. the 5 is negative because there's a negative -11 if there were a postive 11 it will be 5 instead of D=-5
