If the question meant f(x)=2^(x) -3 then the answer should be 1 over 4 or 1/4
B I have done this before
The length of hours Gilbert drove is 7.5 hours.
The length of hours Brian drove is 4.1 hours.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
- Gilbert averaged = 45 miles per hour
- Brain averaged = 65 miles per hour
- Total hours = 11.6 hours
- Total distance = 604 miles
Let 'x' be the hours Gilbert drove.
Let 'y' be the hours Brian drove.
x+y = 11.6 -----(1)
45x+65y = 604 -----(2)
Multiply (1) by 45 and subtract (2) from (1)
45x+45y = 522
-(<u>45x+65y = 604</u>)
<u> -20y = -82 </u>
y = 82/20
y = 4.1 hours
The length of hours Brian drove = 4.1 hours
Substitute y=4.1 in (1)
x+4.1 = 11.6
x = 7.5 hours
The length of hours Gilbert drove = 7.5 hours
Let the number = 10x+y
x+y = 9
y-x = 1
(x+y)+(y-x) = 9+1
2y = 10
y = 10/2
<h3><u>y = 5</u></h3>
x+y = 9
9-y = x
x = 9 - 5
<h3><u>x = 4</u></h3>
<h2>So, your number is <u>45</u></h2>
... Hope this will help...
