Tommy was trying to solve the system of a linear equation and a quadratic equation shown below. 2x – y = –1 x2 – 5x – y = –7 Tom

my had completed the following steps in his algebraic solution process but could not factor the resulting quadratic, x2 – 7x – 1, to complete the problem. Step I: y = 2x + 1 Step II: x2 – 5x – (2x + 1) = –7 Step III: x2 – 5x – 2x – 1 = –7 Step IV: x2 – 7x – 1 = –7 Determine the step in which Tommy made his mistake and justify your reasoning.

Amy used a total of 7 1/4 gallons of gas while driving her car. Each hour she was driving, she used 5/6 gallons of gas. What was
nika2105 [10]

Answer:  8  7/10  hours

whole part = 8

fractional part = 7/10

========================================================

Work Shown:

x = number of hours driving

(5/6)x = total number of gallons of gas used

(5/6)x = 7 & 1/4

(5/6)x = 7 + 1/4

(5/6)x = 28/4 + 1/4

(5/6)x = 29/4

x = (29/4)*(6/5)

x = (29*6)/(4*5)

x = 174/20

x = 87/10

x = (80+7)/10

x = 80/10 + 7/10

x = 8 + 7/10

x = 8 & 7/10

This is the same as writing 8  7/10

Amy drove 8 full hours, plus an additional 7/10 of an hour.

That mixed number converts to the decimal value 8.7
