Answer:

$x = \frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = 5 + 3x$

Required

Solve for x

Subtract 5 from both sides

$y-5 = 5 -5+ 3x$

$y-5 = 3x$

Divide through by 3

$\frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3} = x$

$x = \frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3}$

Gunnar’s car gets 22.4 miles per gallon, and his gas tank can hold 17.82 gallons of gas. PART B: Gunnar’s car is close to empty

dedylja [7]

Answer:

399.17 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Gunnar's car gets 22.4 miles per gallon. His gas tank can hold 17.82 gallons of gas.

Gunnar's car travels with one gallon of gas = 22.4 miles

He can travel with 17.82 gallon of gas = 17.82 × 22.4

= 399.168 ≈ 399.17 miles

Gunnar can travel 399.17 miles if he uses all of the gas in the gas tank.

Jack buys a bag of 5 apples each equal in size he eat 1/2 of one Apple what fraction did he eat

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

You have $4\frac{1}{2}$ apples left.
You have 5 whole apples, you took one whole apple out, which equals 4 whole apples left. Then with the whole apple you took out, you ate $\frac{1}{2}$ of it.
Jack ate $\frac{1}{2}$ of an apple in 5 apples.
If you say that Jack ate $\frac{1}{2}$ of 3 apples, then he ate $1\frac{1}{2}$ apples. So there isn't any difference when he ate $\frac{1}{2}$ of an apple.

What is the measure of the secant DE?

ladessa [460]

Using the formula (AB +BC) *BC = (DE +CD) *CD

fill i n what is known:

(17 + 4) *4 = (DE +6) *6

21*4 = (DE +6)*6

84 = (DE+6)*6

84/6 = DE+6

14 = DE +6

DE = 14-6
DE = 8

Tyler works in retail where she earns $10.50 per hour. She also earns $15 for every new credit account she gets customers to ope

Hitman42 [59]

A
coefficient = 10.50 or 15, both real numbers that qualify variables
variable = c and h
constant = 50

B
10.50h + 15c + 50
10.5 x 37 + 15 x 12 + 50
388.50 + 180 + 50 = 618.50

C
Coefficient would change from 10.50 to 11.25
<span>It is fixed until the next raise.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!</span>
