Answer:

260 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

An estimate of 26.5% of the water used each day is for cleaning and a family uses 68.9 gallons of water a day for cleaning,

Percentage of water used for cleaning= 26.5%

Gallons of water used for cleaning= 68.9

Let the number of gallons used everyday be represented by g. This will give:

26.5% of g = 68.9

26.5/100 × g = 68.9

0.265 × g = 68.9

0.265g = 68.9

Divide both side by 0.265

0.265g/0.265 = 68.9/0.265

g= 260

260 gallons of water are used everyday

Use substitution to solve the system of equations.

gtnhenbr [62]

(3.75, 5.5)

(Work is attached )
When using substitution , you substitute with a variable that is already by itself. In this case, the variable “y” is already by itself and equal to x+ 1.75 . you substitute that for the the y in the other equation and solve for the other variable which is “x”. After you solve for x , to find your y value, you have to substitute the x value in for either equation.

Identify the domain and range

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Domain: 1 ≤ x ≤ 4

Range : 1 ≤ f(x) ≤ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function f(x) is the limit within which the values of x varies.

Here, in the graph, it shows that the maximum value of x is 4 and the minimum value of x is 1.

Therefore, the domain of the function is 1 ≤ x ≤ 4

Again the range of a function f(x) is the limit within which the values of f(x) vary.

Here, the graph shows that the maximum value of f(x) is 4 and the minimum value of f(x) is 1.

Therefore, the range of the function f(x) is 1 ≤ f(x) ≤ 4. (Answer)

What is the inequality 4/5__1/2

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that:

● 1/2 = 0.5

● 4/5 = 0.8

0.8 is greater than 0.5.

So:

● 0.8 > 0.5

● 4/5 > 1/2
