A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 20 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 40 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1100 miles, for a total gas consumption of 35 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Car 1 consumed 15 gallons, and Car 2 consumed 20 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

fuel efficiency = distance in miles/gallons of gas

fuel efficiency * gallons of gas = distance in miles

Car 1: 20 mpg

Car 2: 40 mpg

Total miles: 1100

Miles of Car 1: x

Miles of Car 2: 1100 - x

Total gallons: 35

Gallons for Car 1: y

Gallons for Car 2: 35 - y

Car 1:

fuel efficiency * gallons of gas = distance in miles

20 * y = x

Car 2:

fuel efficiency * gallons of gas = distance in miles

40 * (35 - y) = 1100 - x

20y = x

1400 - 40y = 1100 - x

20y = x

x = 40y - 300

40y - 300 = 20y

20y = 300

y = 15

35 - y = 35 - 15 = 20

Car 1 consumed 15 gallons, and Car 2 consumed 20 gallons.

x= 3, y= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 3x -5 -----(i)

y= -x +7 -----(ii)

Substitute (i) into (ii):

3x -5= -x +7

3x +x= 7 +5

4x= 12

x= 12 ÷4 (÷4 on both sides)

x= 3

Solve. 1/2(4x + 2/5) = 4/5

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(4x + \frac{2}{5} ) = \frac{4}{5}\\2x + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}\\\frac{10x + 1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}\\10x + 1= 4\\10x = 3\\x = \frac{3}{10}[/tex]

Answer:

x = 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

→ 1/2(4x + 2/5) = 4/5

Let's solve the problem,

→ 1/2(4x + 2/5) = 4/5

→ 2x + (1/5) = 4/5

→ 2x = (4/5) - (1/5)

→ x = (3/5) × (1/2)

→ [ x = 3/10 ]

Thus, the value is 3/10.

Answer:

2.5 teaspoons of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{15}{0.5} =\frac{75}{y}[/tex]

What is the difference between the number of solutions for a two-step equation and for a two-step inequality

Answers

Answer:

A two-step equation is something like:

A*X + B = C

In this case, like in a linear equation, we have only one solution that can be found as:

A*X = C - B

X = (C - B)/A

In the case of a two-step inequality, we have something like:

A*X + B > C

Solving this we get;

A*X >  C - B

X > (C - B)/A

In this case, any value of X that is larger than  (C - B)/A is a solution, so in this case, we have infinite solutions.

That is the difference between the number of solutions for each case, in a two-step equation we have only one, while in the case of the inequality we have infinite.

An engineer is designing a fountain that shoots out drops of water. The nozzle from which the water is launched is 3 meters above the ground. It shoots out a drop of water at a vertical velocity of 14 meters per second. Function h models the height in meters, h, of a drop of water t seconds after it is shot out from the nozzle. The function is defined by the equation h(t)=−5t2+14t+3. How many seconds until the drop of water hits the ground?

Answers

Answer:

After 3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]h(t) = -5t^2 + 14t + 3[/tex]

Required

Time the drop will hit the ground

When the drop hits the ground,

[tex]h(t) = 0[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]0 = -5t^2 + 14t + 3[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]5t^2 - 14t - 3 = 0[/tex]

Expand

[tex]5t^2 + t - 15t - 3 = 0[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]t(5t + 1) -3(5t + 1) = 0[/tex]

Factor out 5t + 1

[tex](t -3)(5t + 1) = 0[/tex]

Split

[tex]t -3 = 0[/tex] or [tex]5t + 1 = 0[/tex]

Solve for t

[tex]t = 3[/tex] or [tex]5t = -1[/tex]

Time cannot be negative.

So:

[tex]t = 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area swept by the floor will be the area ofd a sector

Area of a sector = theta/2π * πr²

We are to find the radius r

Given

Area=  25π/12

theta = 30° = π/6

Substitute

25π/12 = 30/360 * πr²

25π/12 = 1/12 * πr²

25/12 = r²/12

r² = 25

r = √25

r = 5

Answer:

A circle is a round shaped figure that has no corners or edges. In geometry, a circle can be defined as a closed, two-dimensional curved shape.

The distance from the center to the circumference of a circle

The diameter is the length of the line through the center that touches two points on the edge of the circle.

The Radius is the distance from the center outwards. The Diameter goes straight across the circle, through the center. The Circumference is the distance once around the circle.

In plane geometry, a chord is the line segment joining two points on a curve. The term is often used to describe a line segment whose ends lie on a circle.

A line segment that has the endpoints on the circle and passes through the midpoint is called the diameter. The diameter is twice the size of the radius. A line segment that has its endpoints on the circular border but does not pass through the midpoint is called a chord. A circle is the same as 360°.

A line that intersects two or more points on a curve. (From the Latin secare "to cut")

The length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side.

A line that intersects a circle in exactly one point is called a tangent and the point where the intersection occurs is called the point of tangency. The tangent is always perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency. A secant is a line that intersects a circle in exactly two points.

Common tangents to two circles may be internal or external. A common internal tangent intersects the line segment connecting the centers of the two circles whereas a common external tangent does not.
