Answer:

A boat would need 21 liters to cover the distance of 84 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A boat can travel 496 km on 124 liters of fuel.

To determine

How much fuel will it need to go 84 km?

It is stated that:

Distance covered in 124 liters of fuel = 496 km

Thus,

Unit rate = 496 km / 124 liters

= 4 km per liter

Thus,

The distance covered in 1 liter = 4km

In order to determine the distance covered in 84 km, all we need is to divide 84 km by 4.

i.e.

The fuel needed to go 84 km = 84 / 4 = 21 liters

Therefore, a boat would need 21 liters to cover the distance of 84 km.

Answer: C)46 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the circumference of a circle can be calculated with this formula:

$C=2\pi r$

Where "r" is the radius of the circle.

Since John is putting a fence around his garden that is shaped like a half circle and a rectangle, then we can find how much fencing he needs by making this addition:

$Fencing=\frac{2\pi r}{2}+2l+w$

Where "l" is the lenght of the rectangle and "w" is the width of the rectangle.

Since we know that the radius of the circle is half its diameter, we can find "r". This is:

$r=\frac{7ft}{2}=3.5ft$

Then, substituting values (and using $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$ ), we get:

$Fencing=\frac{2(\frac{22}{7})(3.5ft)}{2}+2(14ft)+7ft=46ft$

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number

number = x

x - 5 = 3x + 1

now im going to get the numbers and variable on different sides

x - 5 + 5 = x

3x + 1 - 3x = 1

x + 3x = 4x

1 - 5 = -4

4x = -4

lastly im going to divide each side by 4

4x / 4 = x

-4 / 4 = -1

x = -1

A) Factorise 2x² - 9x - 5 (x-5)(2x+1) (2) b) Hence, simplify fully 2x^2- 9x - 5 3x – 15x (2)

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b).

2x² - 9x - 5 = ( x - 5 )( 2x + 1 )

3x² - 15x = 3x ( x - 5 )

$\frac{(x-5)(2x+1)}{3x(x-5)}$ = $\frac{2x+1}{3x}$
