Considering that the car does 50 miles per gallon, the linear function for the number of gallons of fuel in Jim's fuel tank, n, in terms of the number of miles x that Jim has driven since filling his tank is given by:
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.
In this problem:
- Jim's car holds 14 gallons of fuel, hence
.
- Considering it does 50 miles per gallon, and the amount in the tank will decrease, the slope is
.
Hence, the function is:

To solve these type of problems you need to use the pythagoras theorem ⇨ Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude².
Here,
- Altitude = 1.6 cm.
- Base = 1.2 cm
- Hypotenuse = x
Now, let's solve for x.
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²
x² = (1.2)² + (1.6)²
x² = 1.44 + 2.56
x² = 4
x = √4
x = <em><u>2</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
- So, the value of x is <em><u>2</u><u> </u><u>cm.</u></em>

- Pythagoras theorem can be used only in the cases of right-angled triangles. Here, it's given that the triangle is right angled so we can use this theorem.
- To solve the squares if decimals, take them as whole numbers & then just add the decimal points. For example, ⇨ for (1.2)², take it as 12² , then multiply 12 by 12, you'll get 144. Now, add the decimal place accordingly ⇨ 1.44 . So, (1.2)² = 1.44.
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The <span>system can be changed so that the two equations have equal x-coefficients by multiplying </span><span>both sides of the top equation by 2 resulting to 6x + 4y = 24. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer:
As the described function, we want to find vertical asymtotes, we find the value of x so that the denominator is equal to 0.
Here, (x - 2)(x + 6) = 0
=> x = 2, x =-6
=> Option C is correct.
Hope this helps!

C=300+1200x-100x. Find x if the total cost is 3,000
3,000 = 300 + 1200x -100x
3000 = 300 + 1100x
2700 = 1100x
2700÷1100=x
x=27/11
x = 2 5/11
Round to 3
