Answer:

It will take 2.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x \to Minutes

y \to Gallons

See attachment for complete question

Required

Time to fill the tube with 46.2 gallons

The attached table is a represents a direct proportional relationship between x and y.

This relationship is:

y = kx

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

When (x,y) = (1,16.5), we have:

16.5 = k*1

16.5 = k

k=16.5

So, we have:

y = kx

y = 16.5x

To calculate the required time to fill 46.2 gallons, we make x the subject

x = \frac{y}{16.5}

Where

y =46.2

x = \frac{46.2}{16.5}

x = 2.8

Solve the system by substitution.<br> x – 4y = -8<br> 5у – 1 = x<br> Submit Answer
Vikki [24]

Answer:

y = -7 and x = -36

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4y = -8

5y - 1 = x

→ Substitute 5y - 1 into x - 4y = -8

5y - 1 - 4y = -8

→ Simplify

y - 1 = -8

→ Add 1 to both sides

y = -7

→ Substitute y = -7 into 5y - 1

( 5 × -7 ) - 1 = -36

Let h(x)=2x−5 and g(x)=−3x+1.Find h(x)+g(x).? help please
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
This may look a little confusing but all you have to do is plug the equation given for h(x) which is 2x-5 in to the h(x) area in the equation where it says h(x) + g(x).

So far that’s (2x-5) + g(x)

Then,

Do the same with equation given for g(x) which is now,

(2x-5) + (3x+1)

Then solve,

2x - 5 + 3x + 1
2x + 3x- 5 + 1
5x - 4

Therefore the answer is 5x - 4.

An exterior angle of a triangle equals _______ minus the adjacent interior angle.
insens350 [35]
As isosceles triangle has two congruent sides with a third side 
<span>that is the base. </span>

<span>A base angle of an isosceles triangle is one of the angles formed by </span>
<span>the base and another side. Base angles are equal because of the </span>
<span>definition of an isosceles triangle. </span>

<span>A picture would probably help here: </span>


<span>A </span>
<span>. </span>
<span>/ \ ABC = ACB = 39 degrees </span>
<span>/ BAC = ??</span>

<span>._______________. </span>
<span>B C </span>
<span>base </span>
<span>ABC is the isosceles triangle. AB is congruent to AC. Angle ABC </span>
<span>is congruent to angle ACB. These are the base angles. </span>
<span>Triangle is a convex polygon with three segments joining three non-collinear points. Each of the three segments is called a side, and each of the three non-collinear points is called a vertex. </span>
<span>Triangles can be categorized by the number of congruent sides they have. For instance, a triangle with no congruent sides is a scalene triangle; a triangle with two congruent sides is an isosceles triangle; a triangle with three congruent sides is an equilateral triangle. </span>
<span>Triangles can also be categorized by their angles. For instance, a triangle with three acute interior angles is an acute triangle; a triangle with one obtuse interior angle is an obtuse triangle; a triangle with one right interior angle is a right triangle; a triangle with three congruent interior angles is an equiangular triangle. </span>
<span>One property of a triangle is that the sum of the measures of the three interior angles is always 180 degrees (or pi radians). In addition, the exterior angle of a triangle is the supplement of the adjacent interior angle. The measure of the exterior angle is also the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles.</span>

Which of the following is not a disadvantage of using cash instead of credit?
sergeinik [125]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

D) Using cash can make it easier to over-spend since you know exactly how much you have.

Explanation:

Knowing exactly how much you have on hand will actually help you avoid over-spending.

When using cash, you are aware of exactly how much money you have. With a credit card, this may not be the case; this makes it easier with a credit card to spend more money than you should for your budget. With cash it's easier to avoid this problem.
