Answer:
C. The expression is not equivalent, but it is completely factored.
Um... it'll take each pipe 80 mins, bcz if together they take that long, then to find the pipes time separately, you just multiply it by two to show it doing the work the other pipe did as well. Is that what you wanted??
Answer:
A.) 40.506 cm is the answer
If g is the gallons of gas, and the truck holds up to 20 gallons, then g can be anything from 0 to 20.
If there is zero gallons of gas (g = 0) then the truck will travel zero miles because M(0) = 17(0) = 0.
The max miles depends on the max gallons of gas, so the miles possible with 20 gallons is M(20) = 17(20) = 340.
So, g ranges from 0 to 20 and M(g) ranges from 0 to 340.
Therefore your answer is the last option.
