Answer:
42.5 or 43
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you need to travel 850 miles, and you can travel 20 miles per gallon, you should divide 850 by 20 to get the number of gas cans needed. In doing so, you get 42.5 gas cans, but since it may be asking for whole cans rather than part of a gas can, you might want to write 43 instead. If you were to round down to 42, you would not have enough gas to finish the trip, so you should round up to 43. So, it is up to you if you want to write 42.5 or 43.
Hope this helped somewhat! ;(
The exponent 4 needs to be applied to both 3 and x, so we would have:
3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * x^4.
9 * 9 * x^4.
81x^4
2+1=3
15/3=5
split the 3 5's in ratio 2:1 and you get 10:5
Answer: 72 cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the number of toys that Moby had to start with.
According to the information given in the exercise, Moby sold half his toy car collection. This can be represented with the following expression:
Then he bought 12 more cars, giving a total amount of 48 toy cars.
Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is the equation shown below:
Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.
You get that this is:
