A long-distance delivery truck averages 8 miles per gallon when the truck is full. The
miles per gallon improves by 20% when the truck is empty. If the truck travels 160 miles
full to deliver its goods, and then travels back 160 miles empty, approximately how many
gallons will the truck use in all?

Answers

Answer 1
8 mpg when full
8*1.2=9.6mpg when empty
160/8+160/9.6=36.67
Answer 2

The gas used by truck is 36.66 mpg.

What is linear equation?

When graphed, a linear equation always produces a straight line because it is an algebraic equation with each term having an exponent of 1. It is referred to as a "linear equation" for this reason.

One-variable linear equations and two-variable linear equations exist.

Given

A long-distance delivery truck averages 8 miles per gallon when the truck is full.

The miles per gallon improve by 20% when the truck is empty.

The distance delivery truck averages 8 miles per gallon when full, and the amount of gasoline used (g) is expressed in terms of the number of miles driven ([tex]m_{f}[/tex]).

When the truck is full, the amount of gasoline is shown as,

[tex]m_{f}[/tex] = d/8

given distance is 160 miles

[tex]m_{f}[/tex] = 160/8  = 20 mpg

Then,

The miles per gallon improve by 20% when the truck is empty.

The number of miles driven when empty is represented as,

[tex]m_{e}[/tex] = d/(8 + 1.6)

[tex]m_{e}[/tex]  = d/9.6

[tex]m_{e}[/tex] = 160/9.6

[tex]m_{e}[/tex]  = 16.66 mpg

total gasoline  required = [tex]m_{e}[/tex] +  [tex]m_{f}[/tex]  = 20 + 16.66 = 36.66 mpg

Hence the total  gas used is 36.66 mpg.

Answers

Answer:

x = 46°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Δ ABC is equilateral then interior angles = 60°

Since CE = DE then Δ CDE is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, so

∠ ECD = [tex]\frac{180-32}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{148}{2}[/tex] = 74°

BCD is a straight line, then the 3 angles on it sum to 180°, that is

60° + 74° + x = 180°

134° + x = 180° ( subtract 134° from both sides )

x = 46°

Select one:
a. 188 in.2
b. 278 in.2
c. 322 in.2
d. none of these

Answers

Answer:

d. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Area of triangle 1 = ½*b*h

b = 11 in.

h = 3 in.

Area of triangle 1 = ½*11*3 = 16.5 in.²

✔️Area of triangle 2 = ½*b*h

b = 8

h = 9

Area of triangle 2 = ½*8*9 = 36 in²

✔️Area of parallelogram 1 = b*h

b = 11 in.

h = 9 in.

Area of parallelogram 1 = 11*9 = 99 in.²

✔️Area of parallelogram 1 = b*h

b = 9 in.

h = 11 in.

Area of parallelogram 2 = 9*11 = 99 in.²

✅Total area = 16.5 + 36 + 99 + 99 = 250.5 in.²
