Answer:

  8 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The $2 difference in the price of a car wash is made up by the gas purchase at the rate of $0.25 per gallon. So, it takes ...

  $2/($0.25/gal) = 8 gal

to make the costs the same.

The customer must purchase 8 gallons for the total cost to be the same at both gas stations.

___

  3.50g +8 = 3.25g +10 . . . . costs at each station for g gallons of gas + wash

  0.25g = 2 . . . . . . . . . subtract 3.25g+8 from both sides

  g = 2/.25 = 8 . . . . . . the way we did it above

The product of two positive numbers is 48. the larger number is 13 more than the smaller. Find both numbers [Only an algebraic s
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Larger number:

16

Smaller number

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Larger number: 16

Smaller number: 3

Explanation:

Suppose the larger number is

a

and the smaller number is

b

.

You solve the following system of equations:

a⋅b=48

a−13=b

Since b is a −13, you can plug that into a⋅b=48, so...a⋅(a−13)=48

a 2−13a=48

a2−13a−48=0

Factor the polynomial:

(a−16)(a+3)=0

a=16 or a=−3a is positive so a=16.

We can now solve for b by plugging in a, so...16−13=b3=b We have a=16 and b=3, meaning that the larger number is 16 and the smaller number is 3.
