A)48
Explanation:
2^3 - 2^2 = 8 - 4 = 4
3^3 - 3^2 = 27 - 9 = 18
4^3 - 4^2 = 64 - 16 = 48
5^3 - 5^2 = 125 - 25 = 100
6^3 - 6^2 = 216 - 36 = 180
7^3 - 7^2 = 343 - 49 = 294
8^3 - 8^2 = 512 - 64 = 448
First, you need to isolate the x in the first equation.
-x + 5y = 1
Subtract 5y from both sides, leaving you with the following equation:
-x = 1-5y
Because you are trying to solve for positive x and not negative x, you need to make x positive. Therefore you divide both sides by -1. In Algebra, when 1 is the coefficient of the variable, it is not shown, but it is still there. The new equation will be the following: x = 5y-1
Now you just need to substitute the x within the second equation for the x equation we just solved for.
Therefore, the right answer will be 2(5y-1)+4y= -4. Now, all you have to do is choose the answer that states exactly that, which is the first choice.
E to F = 678.35 miles
F to G = 156.8 miles
G to H = x
Total distance = 2,457 miles
E to G = 678.35 + 156.8 miles
E to G = 835.15
G to H = 2,457 - 835.15
G to H = 1621.85 miles
Your answer will be D and E
F(5)=(5)^2+4(5)
f(5)=25+20=45
g(6)=2(6)+2
g(6)=12+2=14
45+14=59
