A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 25 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

15 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1525 miles, for a total gas consumption of 75 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?

first car is x

second car is y

25x+30y=1550

x+y=55

Multiply the second equation by -25 for elimination method to cancel out x

-25x-25y=-1375

Add the two equations

5y=175

y=35

Plug this value into the second equation

x+35=55

x=20

Final answers:

First car=20 gallons

Second car=35 gallons

A student takes a part-time job to earn for summer travel. The number of hours, , the student has to work is inversely proportio
Andrej [43]

Answer:

(a) h = \frac{2400}{w}

(b)300 Hours

(c)150 Hours

(d)Reduced and halved.

(e) w = \frac{2400}{h}

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The number of hours worked is inversely proportional to the wage.

This is written as:

h \propto \frac{1}{w} \\\text{Introducing variation constant k}\\h = \frac{k}{w}\\$Since the money to be raised is constant, k = $ \$2400\\Therefore, h = \frac{2400}{w}

(b)If the student earns $8 an hour

w=$8

\text{Number of Hours required, h} = \frac{2400}{8} =300 Hours

(c)When the wage per hour =$16

When w=$16

\text{Number of Hours required, h} = \frac{2400}{16} =150 Hours

The number of hours reduced and is in fact halved.

(d)

\text{When the wage per hour =w}, h = \frac{2400}{w}\\\text{When the wage per hour =2w}, h = \frac{2400}{2w}=\frac{1}{2}  X \frac{2400}{w} =\frac{h}{2}

The effect of raising the wage from $w to $2w per hour is that the number of hours required to work is reduced and exactly halved.

(e)The wage per hour is inversely proportional to the number of hours.

In fact,

\text{From h = }\frac{2400}{w}\\\text{Cross Multiplying}\\hw=2400\\\text{Dividing both sides by h}\\w = \frac{2400}{h}

x = -1

 x=  0.0000 - 3.0000 i

 x=  0.0000 + 3.0000 i

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "x2"   was replaced by   "x^2".  4 more similar replacement(s).

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 ((((((x6)-(2•(x5)))+(9•(x4)))-24x3)-x2)+18x)-9  = 0

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (x6)-(2•(x5)+(32x4)-24x3)-x2)+18x)-9  = 0

Step  3  :

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 (x6)-2x5)+32x4)-24x3)-x2)+18x)-9  = 0

60 degrees,60 degrees,4cm Do the following conditions make a unique triangle, more than one triangle or no triangle possible?
babunello [35]

NOT NECESSARILY would a triangle be equilateral if one of its angles is 60 degrees. To be an equilateral triangle (a triangle in which all 3 sides have the same length), all 3 angles of the triangle would have to be 60°-angles; however, the triangle could be a 30°-60°-90° right triangle in which the side opposite the 30 degree angle is one-half as long as the hypotenuse, and the length of the side opposite the 60 degree angle is √3/2 as long as the hypotenuse. Another of possibly many examples would be a triangle with angles of 60°, 40°, and 80° which has opposite sides of lengths 2, 1.4845 (rounded to 4 decimal places), and 2.2743 (rounded to 4 decimal places), respectively, the last two of which were determined by using the Law of Sines: "In any triangle ABC, having sides of length a, b, and c, the following relationships are true: a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C."¹
