The mileage is the independent variable. You can control it. The gasoline remaining DEPENDS ON the number of miles different. That's why it's called the dependent variable. It's change depends on the change in the independent variable
What is the context for the question if there is any?
I am going to explain this using the substitution method, considering it appears to be the best in this situation.
We know (from the bottom equation) that y can equal 3x+20. Using this knowledge, we substitute the y in the top equation for 3x+20. Now, we have an equation that looks like this:
3x+20=x^2+2x
Now we need to move x to one side and then do some radicals (square roots).
Subtract the 2x on the right (since it is smaller, negatives = NONONO), which will give you
x+20=x^2
Now, we take the square root of both sides to get
rad(x+20)=x
Now we have to simplify. 20 doesn't have a square root, but 4 goes into 20, and 4 has a square root of 2. This now becomes
2rad(x+5)
This doesn't simplify any further... we have a problem... no way to isolate x as far as my knowledge goes... Sorry, can't help you any further than that, but another person or your teacher might be able to. R.I.P...
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
13 - 5 = 8
Answer:
the weight of the steel beam and steel beam length
let y be weight and x be length of it
y=ax
where a is the constant
we can find it if we have two sets of values of y and x
