Answer: 27 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the car can go 35½ miles in 1½ miles gallons, we need to first calculate the number of miles that the car can go in 1 gallon. This will be:

= 35½ / 1½

= 71/2 / 3/2

= 71/2 × 2/3

= 23⅔ miles per gallon.

Therefore, the amount of gallons that the car need to go 639 miles will be:

= 639 / 23⅔

= 639 ÷ 71/3

= 639 × 3/71

= 27

The car will need 27 gallons.

Given the equation (x+a)^2(x-2)=x^3+bx^2+12x-72 find a and b

GaryK [48]

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

$a=- \frac{ x^{2}- \sqrt{( x^{3} + x^{2} b+12x-72(x-2)-2x} }{x-2} ,- \frac{ x^{2}+ \sqrt{( x^{3} + x^{2} b+12x-72(x-2)-2x} }{x-2}$

Solve for b by simplifying both sides of the equation then isolating the variabel.

$b= \frac{12}{x}+ \frac{72}{ x^{2} }-2+2a- \frac{4a}{x}+ \frac{ a^{2} }{x}- \frac{2a^{z} }{ x^{2} }$

What is the answer to - 5y = - 5 and. 7x +6y=7

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

(1/7, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

By "answer," you probably meant "solution." What is the "solution of the system of linear equations

- 5y = - 5

+ 7x +6y=7

The first eqation can be solved for y: y = 1. Substitute 1 for y in the secon equation. Then 7x + 6(1) = 7, or 7x = 1, or x = 1/7.

The solution to this system is (1/7, 1)

Missy’s rotation maps point K(17, –12) to K’(12, 17). Which describes the rotation?

Svetlanka [38]

Point K is in the 4th quadrant, then it goes into the first quadrant. So this means the rotation could be 90 degrees counterclockwise or 270 degrees clockwise.

The answer is 90 degrees counterclockwise or 270 degrees clockwise.

56 students signed up for the school play. About 34% of these students were boys. At the auditions only 31 girls attended. What

Elza [17]

56 students represents 100 % and

X boys represent 34%,

so x= 56•34/100= 19.04 so approximately 19 boys

56-19= 37 girls signed up.

Now 37 girls represent 100% and 31 girls represent x % ,

So x= 31•100/37= 83.78% about 84% of the girls attended
