One equation for this would be
We start by finding the slope between the two points:
A line parallel to this one will have the same slope. We will use point-slope form to write our equation:
Let's use the variable x to represent the length of the first and second pieces.
If the third piece has twice the length of the first and second, its length is 2x.
If the fourth piece has half the length of the first and second, its length is 0.5*x.
Adding all four pieces and equating to 54 inches, we have:
So the length of each piece is:
12 inches, 12 inches, 24 inches and 6 inches.
X = 4/7 = 0.571 I believe so
Problem 5
x = number of songs downloaded
MyTunes charges $2.50 per song, so you pay 2.50*x dollars if you download x songs. If M is the cost of using MyTunes, then M = 2.50*x.
Let G be the cost of using Great Songs. The equation here is G = 1.50*x+50. We have 1.50*x representing the cost of downloading x songs (at 1.50 dollars a piece) plus the membership fee of $50. So the total cost here is 1.50x+50 dollars.
We want to find out when Great Songs is a better deal, so we want to determine what x values make G smaller than M
(Great Songs Cost) < (MyTunes Cost)
G < M
1.50x+50 < M ................................... replace G with 1.50x+50
1.50x+50 < 2.50x ............................. replace M with 2.50x
1.50x+50-1.50x < 2.50x-1.50x ....... subtract 1.50x from both sides
50 < 1.00x
50 < x
x > 50
If you download more than 50 songs, then Great Songs will be the better deal since it will be the cheaper plan.
Answer:
19.6 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
225/10=441/G
cross multiply
225G=10*441
225G=4410
G=4410/225
G=19.6 gallons of gas
