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)

How many two-digit positive integers can be formed the digits 1,5,6, and 8 if no digit is repeated?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 different digits to choose from. Since we want 2-digit number, we will see what digits can we put in place of 1st digit and what digit can we place in place of 2nd digit.

Hence, <u><em>how many digits (from 1,5,6 and 8) can be placed in the 1st digit of the number we want?</em></u>

Any one of the four digits (1,5,6, or 8).

Now, <em><u>How many digits (from 1,5,6 and 8) can be placed as the 2nd digit of the number we want?</u></em>

Any one of the THREE digits (since repetition is not allowed, we disregard the initial digit).

Thus the number of two-digit positive integers is 4 * 3 = 12

Answer:

  • slope = 3/2
  • y-intercept = 3
  • x-intercept = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the coefficient of x when the equation is of the form ...

  y = (something).

Here, we can put the equation in that form by subtracting 12x and dividing by the coefficient of y:

  12x -8y = -24 . . . . . given

  -8y = -12x -24 . . . . .subtract 12x

  y = 3/2x +3 . . . . . . . divide by -8

This is the "slope-intercept" form of the equation. Generically, it is written ...

  y = mx + b . . . . . . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So, the above equation answers two of your questions:

  slope = 3/2

  y-intercept = 3

__

The x-intercept is found fairly easily from the original equation by setting y=0:

  12x = -24

  x = -24/12 = -2 . . . . . the x-intercept

_____

A graph of the equation can also show you these things. The graph shows a rise of 3 units for a run of 2, so the slope is rise/run = 3/2. The line crosses the axes at x=-2 and y=3, the intercepts.

John types 62 words per minute. Which an expression for the number of words he types in m minutes?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

w = 62m

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to make an expression for the numbers of words (w) John types in m minutes.

We know he types 62 words in 1 minute, so 62 is the coefficient of m.

The dependent variable here is w, so that should on the left of the equal sign.

m, on the other hand, is independent, so that's on the right of the equal sign.

So, the expression is w = 62m.
