Answer:

<em><u>241250000 cars aren't diesel (Basically 96.5%)</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

250 million = 250000000

If we are talking about the percentage of cars that aren't diesel, we have two ways of solving this. (I'm gonna solve for not just percentage but for amount too)

<em><u>1. Find out the percentage that isn't diesel by subtracting 3.5% from 100% and then multiplying the answer to get the result.</u></em>

or

<u><em>2. We find out what 3.5% of 250 million is and then subtract that from 250 million</em></u>

Now to make this short, I will do the first one.

100-3.5 = 96.5

96.5% x 250,000,000 = 241250000

Answer: $x=7, \ y=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Equations are $3x-y=23$ and $2x+3y=8$

take $3x-y=23$

$y=3x-23$

Put the value of y in another equation

$\Rightarrow 2x+3(3x-23)=8\\\Rightarrow 2x+9x-69=8\\\Rightarrow 11x=77\\\Rightarrow x=7$

Put the value of x in y

$y=3(7)-23=21-23=-2$

Hence, $x=7, \ y=-2$

What is the length of BC , rounded to the nearest tenth?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Step $1$

In the right triangle ADB

<u>Find the length of the segment AB</u>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$AB^{2} =AD^{2}+BD^{2}$

we have

$AD=5\ units\\BD=12\ units$

substitute the values

$AB^{2}=5^{2}+12^{2}$

$AB^{2}=169$

$AB=13\ units$

Step $2$

In the right triangle ADB

<u>Find the cosine of the angle BAD</u>

we know that

$cos(BAD)=\frac{adjacent\ side }{hypotenuse}=\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{5}{13}$

Step $3$

In the right triangle ABC

<u>Find the length of the segment AC</u>

we know that

$cos(BAC)=cos (BAD)=\frac{5}{13}$

$cos(BAC)=\frac{adjacent\ side }{hypotenuse}=\frac{AB}{AC}$

$\frac{5}{13}=\frac{AB}{AC}$

$\frac{5}{13}=\frac{13}{AC}$

solve for AC

$AC=(13*13)/5=33.8\ units$

Step $4$

<u>Find the length of the segment DC</u>

we know that

$DC=AC-AD$

we have

$AC=33.8\ units$

$AD=5\ units$

substitute the values

$DC=33.8\ units-5\ units$

$DC=28.8\ units$

Step $5$

<u>Find the length of the segment BC</u>

In the right triangle BDC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BC^{2} =BD^{2}+DC^{2}$

we have

$BD=12\ units\\DC=28.8\ units$

substitute the values

$BC^{2}=12^{2}+28.8^{2}$

$BC^{2}=973.44$

$BC=31.2\ units$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$BC=31.2\ units$

Part III: Bailey works part-time at a movie theater. The theater pays employees an hourly wage based on their length of employme

aleksklad [387]

From the given table, the points can be written as : (6,7.55) , (12,7.85), (18, 8.15) and (24, 8.45)

Slope $m=\frac{_{y2}-_{y1}}{_{x2}-_{x1}}$

m = $\frac{7.85-7.55}{12-6}$

m = 0.05

slope intercept form of line = $y=mx+c$

We plug m = 0.05, x = 6 and y = 7.55 and find c.

$7.55=0.05(6)+c$

c= 7.25

Required equation: $y=0.05x+7.25$ ... Answer
