You take 480 and divide it by 15, because it says per gallon. so then if the car goes 480 miles with 15 gallons, you have to figure out how to find per gallon. you divide 480/15 and your answer is 32
The expression for the number of segments drawn out of the n number of points in the circle is,
n² / 2 - n / 2
Substituting directly to the expression the number of points, n, which is equal to 8,
8² / 2 - 8 / 2 = 28
Thus, there are 28 segments that can be drawn from the points.
Elsa's answer is incorrect since there is a solution of the given equation. In the given logarithmic problem, we need to simplify the problem by transposing log2(3x+5) in the opposite side. The equation will now be log2x-log2(3x+5)=4. Using properties of logarithm, we further simplify the problem into a new form log (2x/6x+10)=4. Then transform the equation into base form 10^4=(2x/6x+10) and proceed in solving for x value which is equal to 1.667.
Answer:
A. (–8, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) y = ½x + 6
(2) y = -¾x – 4 Set (1) = (2)
½x + 6 = -¾x – 4 Multiply each side by 4
2x + 24 = -3x – 16 Add 16 to each side
2x + 40 = -3x Subtract 2x from each side
40 = -5x Divide each side by -5
(3) x = -8 Substitute (2) into (1)
y = ½(-8) +6
= -4 + 6
= 2
The solution to the system of equations is (-8 ,2).
You can see the graphs of the two functions in the figure below. The two lines intersect at (-8, 2).
Check:
2 = ½(-8) + 6 2 = -¾(-8) - 4
2 = -4 +6 2 = 6 - 4
2 = 2 2 = 2
