One example is the equation 2x+3x = 5x because the left hand side combines to form the right hand side. This equation is said to be an identity, which is always true for any real number you can think of. For example, if x = 3, then,
2x+3x = 5x
2*3+3*3 = 5*3 ... replace every x with 3
6 + 9 = 15
15 = 15
We end up with a true equation. This will happen regardless of what x value we pick. Therefore, it has infinitely many solutions.
Let lucy = l & neighbour= n
l = n +4
l + n= 14 years
substitute l with n +4
(n +4) + n = 14
2n +4 =14
n=5 years
l = n + 4 lets substitute n with 5
l = 5 + 4
lucy = 9 years
Answer : 424.875 miles
The problem states that Brian can travel ‘27.5’ miles per gallon, and his tank can only hold ‘15.45’ gallons of fuel.
To find the miles he can travel, all you have to do is multiply the miles he can travel per gallon (27.5) by the gallons he has in the tank (15.45).
This gives you the answer of 424.875 miles.
When using the formula that lets you solve for the area of a traingle, you use
area = 1/2 base + height
which led me to solve and get 32.13
5% of 350,000 is 17,500 so D
