You're going on a 1211-mile trip, and your car gets about 29 miles per gallon. Gas prices along your route average $3.40. Estima

te the cost of gasoline for this trip by rounding the distance to 1200 miles, the mileage to 30 miles per gallon, and the cost of gas to $3.00 per gallon. Calculate the answer without using estimate and compare the two results. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

Answer:

Using the estimate:

The car has to go for 1,200 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 30 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:

= 1,200 / 30

= 40 gallons

Each gallon costs $3.00 so the total cost is:

= 40 * 3

= $120

Without using the estimate:

The car has to go for 1,211 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 29 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:

= 1,211 / 29

= 41.76 gallons

Each gallon costs $3.40 so the total cost is:

= 41.76 * 3.40

= $‭141.98

<em>Using the estimate provides a lower cost of gasoline for the trip. </em>

Solve the system of linear equations. <br> −8x+5y=26<br> 9x−3y=−3
Sloan [31]

Answer: x = 3 and y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x + 5y = 26     .................. equation 1

9x - 3y = -3          ................ equation 2

Solving the system of linear equations by elimination method.

The means we have to make the coefficient of one of the variable the same in order to eliminate the variable first.

Let us eliminate the variable y first , this means we will multiply equation 1 by 3 and multiply equation 2 by 5. Doing this , we have

-24x + 15y = 78      ............. equation 3

45x - 15y = -15     ................ equation 4

Now that we have the same coefficient , we have to check their signs , if the have the same signs , we will subtract , that is , if both are having positive signs , we will subtract , if both have negative signs , we will also subtract but if their signs differ we will add. Following this rule and considering the equations above , the coefficients of y have different signs , so we will add equation 3 and equation 4 , so we have:

21x = 63

x = 63/21

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into equation 1 or equation 2 to get the value of y , using equation 2 , we have

9x - 3y = -3

9(3) - 3y = -3

27 - 3y = -3

27+3 = 3y

30 = 3y

30/3 = y

Therefore y = 10

Therefore : x = 3 and y = 10

How do you solve thsi
VLD [36.1K]
You multiply the length of the model car by the meters from the actual car. It’s easier to convert one unit of measurement to match with the other. I found it easier to convert 18.2 cm to meters which is 0.182 m. Now we multiply 0.182m by 0.3m to get the length of the actual car.

The answer would be 0.0546m. Or if you prefer centimeters, then the answer would be 5.46 cm. Either way is fine.

Hope this helped, please let me know if I was correct. :D
