Answer: 112 km

=====================================================

Work Shown:

(5 miles)/(8 km) = (70 miles)/(x km)

5/8 = 70/x

5*x = 8*70 ... cross multiply

5x = 560

x = 560/5 .... divide both sides by 5

x = 112

According to the given estimation, 70 miles converts to 112 km.

The more accurate conversion is approximately 70 miles = 112.65408 km, so this estimation isn't too far off.

Solve the system of equations by substitution.<br> 3/8x + 1/3y = 17/24<br> x + 7y = 8

bixtya [17]

Using the second equation, let’s find x

x + 7y = 8
x = 8 - 7y

Substitute x in the other equation

3/8(8 - 7y) + 1/3y = 17/24
3 - 21/8y + 1/3y = 17/24
-55/24y = -55/24
y = 1

Plug in y in any equation

x + 7(1) = 8
x + 7 = 8
x = 1

x = 1 and y = 1

All functions have an inverse expression.

The cost function is: $\mathbf{C(x) = 40000 + 100x}$ .
The inverse function is: $\mathbf{C'(x) = 0.01x - 400 }$

From the question, we have the following observations:

Base fare = 50000 pesos for first 100
Additional guest = 100 pesos

So, the cost function would be:

$\mathbf{C(x) = 50000 + (x - 100) \times 100}$

Where: x represents the number of guests, and C(x) represents the cost function

Expand

$\mathbf{C(x) = 50000 + 100x - 10000}$

Evaluate like terms

$\mathbf{C(x) = 40000 + 100x}$

To calculate the inverse function, we have:

$\mathbf{C(x) = 40000 + 100x}$

Replace C(x) with y

$\mathbf{y = 40000 + 100x}$

Swap x and y

$\mathbf{x = 40000 + 100y}$

Subtract 40000 from both sides

$\mathbf{x - 40000 = 100y}$

Divide both sides by 100

$\mathbf{\frac{x - 40000}{100} = y}$

Rewrite as:

$\mathbf{y= \frac{x - 40000}{100} }$

Split

$\mathbf{y= \frac{x}{100} - \frac{40000}{100} }$

$\mathbf{y= 0.01x - 400 }$

Hence, the inverse function is: $\mathbf{C'(x) = 0.01x - 400 }$

If the statement if it cold then i wear a jacket is assumed to be true is it converse if i wear a jacket it must be cold also al

Archy [21]

The converse of any statement, true or false, is never always true. The only guaranteed true statement is a contrapositive of a true statement. A contrapositive is a statement where the hypothesis and conclusion are switched, and both sides are negated.

Final Answer: no
