The total amount of gallons of gasoline expended by all the automobile drivers in the United States is 9 × (10)10 gallons. It is obtained using the basic concepts of word problems based on multiplication and division.
What are word problems?
Word problems are defined as mathematical problems that are completely expressed in the notation of words or language rather than numbers. Word problems can simply be based on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, percentage, etc.
Calculation of the total amount of gasoline consumed in the US in units of gallon
According to the word problem, the total number of people in the US is 3 × (10)8
Number of people having cars = ½ × 3 × (10)8
= 1.5 × (10)8
Each car drives an average of 12000 miles per hour, so the total distance travelled by one car is 12000 miles
The distance covered by all the cars = 1.5 × (10)8 × 12000
= 1.8 × (10)12 miles
20 miles is covered in 1 gallon of gasoline
1 mile is covered in 1/20 gallon of gasoline
So, 1.8 × (10)12 miles will be covered in 1.8 × (10)12 × (1/20)
= 9 × (10)10 gallons
Hence, the gallons of gasoline required is 9 × (10)10 gallons.

If x - 4y = -10 and 2x + 9y= -3 are true equations, what would be the value of 3x+5y?
The value of the expression 3x + 5y will be 47.
How to calculate the equation?It should be noted that an equation is used in Mathematics to show the relationship the exist between different variables.
The given equations are:
x - 4y = -10 ...... i
2x + 9y= -3 ....... ii
Multiply equation i by 2
Multiply equation ii by 1
2x - 8y = -20 ...... iii
2x + 9y = -3. ..... iv
Subtract equation iv from iii
(2x - 2x) (-8y - 9y) = (-20 + 3)
-17y = -17
Then, we have to divide by the coefficient.
y = -17/-17
y = 1
Since x - 4y = -10.
We will then put the value of y = 1 into the equation
x - 4(1) = 10
x = 10 + 4
x = 14
Therefore, 3x + 5y will be:
=3(14) + 5(1)
= 42 + 5
= 47.
In conclusion, the value of 3x + 5y is 47.

A hotel business center charges $40 per hour to rent a computer plus a $65 security deposit. The total rental charge is represented by f(X)=40+65. How would the equation change if the business center increased the security deposit by $15?
Answer:
The equation would change to f(x)=40x+80
Step-by-step explanation:
you add 15 to the 65 as that is the security deposit
Answer: It is Yes

In the diagram below of triangle LMN, O is the midpoint of LN and P is the midpoint of MN. If OP = 31 - 2x, and LM = 38 + 4x, what is the measure of LM?
Answer: LM= ?
If O is the midpoint of LN and P is the midpoint of MN and if OP = 31 - 2x, and LM = 38 + 4x, then the measure of LM = 88
As per the question statement, Triangle LMN where O is the midpoint of LN and P is the midpoint of MN and if OP = 31 - 2x, and LM = 38 + 4x, we are supposed to find the measure of LM.
As O is the mid point of LN and P is the midpoint of OP the using the Mid point theorem, we can say that in Triangle LMN
[tex]OP=\frac{LM}{2}[/tex]
Substituting values,
[tex]31-2x=\frac{38+4x}{2} \\2(31-2x)=38+4x\\62-4x=38+4x \\8x = 100\\x=12.5[/tex]
LM = 38 + 4x
[tex]LM = 38 + 4(12.5)\\LM=38 + 50\\LM=88[/tex]
Hence value of LM is 88

Write an equation of the line and interpret the slope and y intercept (Will award brainiest answer)
Answer:
[tex]y = 120x [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a straight line is
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
m= slope of line = rise/run which can be computed by taking two points on the line, finding the difference I the y coordinate values and dividing by the correspoding difference in their x coordinate values
b is the y-intercept where the line crosses the y-sxis
Looking at the graph we can see that the line crosses the y-sxis at the origin (0, 0) so the y-intercept is at y=0
The slope is determined by examining the two highlighted points (3, 360) and (2, 240)
Slope =
[tex] \frac{360 - 240}{3 - 2} = \frac{120 }{1} = 120[/tex]

a rectangle has a length that is 5 inches greater than its width, and its area is 104 square inches. the equation (x 5)x
The length and width of the rectangle are: 10 inches and 5 inches.
What is a rectangle?Rectangle refers to a plane shape, as opposed to a square, with four straight sides and four right angles, particularly one with uneven neighboring sides.
Given:
Area of the rectangle = 104 sq. inchesLength of the rectangle is 5 inches more than the width.To find: the length and width of the rectangle.
Finding:
Let the width of the rectangle be 'x'
Then the length of the rectangle = x + 5
Now, area of the rectangle = width (length)
=> 104 = x ( x + 5)
=> x² + 5x - 104 = 0
=> x² + 13x - 5x - 104 = 0
=> (x + 13) (x - 5) = 0
Since the lengths can't be negative, x = 5, i.e., the width of the rectangle = 5 inches
=> Length = 5 + 5 = 10 inches

When she was practising for the 10K, Mirin timed herself.
Her times ranged from 66 minutes down to 54 minutes.
a) Write her times in tolerance notation as in (.... ± ...) minutes.
b) Now calculate her tolerance using percentages as.... mins (± ...%).
Using the percentage concept, it is found that:
a) Her tolerance is of (60 ± 6 minutes).
b) As a percentage, her tolerance times are of 60 minutes (± 10%).
What is a percentage?The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:
[tex]P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%[/tex]
For this problem, the interval is between 54 and 66 minutes, that are both within 6 minutes of the mean of 60 minutes, thus:
a) Her tolerance is of (60 ± 6 minutes).
For item b, we want to find the tolerance as a percentage, that is, the percentage that the tolerance of 6 minutes is from the time of 60 minutes, hence:
P = 6/60 x 100% = 0.1 x 100% = 100%.
Hence:
b) As a percentage, her tolerance times are of 60 minutes (± 10%).

The values of A, B and C are 36, 7 and 3, respectively.
What is the simplified form of the sum of two positive integers?
In this problem we have the addition of two positive integers that are divisible to 2. First, we proceed to decompose each element of the addition as a product of prime numbers:
252 = 2² × 3² × 7
108 = 2² × 3³
The greatest common factor is the greatest integer that can be removed from the addition by distributive property. Then, the greatest common factor is 2² × 3² = 36 and finally:
(2² × 3²) · (7 + 3)
36 · (7 + 3)

On his first three tests Al averaged 76 out of 100.
What score out of 100 must he get on the fourth
test so his average will be 81?
Al must score 96 in his final test to get an average of 81.
An average or mean is one number chosen to represent a group of numbers; it is often the sum of the numbers divided by the number of numbers in the group.
If every number in a list is the same number, then the average of the numbers in the list is also this number. Every one of the diverse varieties of average shares this characteristic.
The sum of the of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 7, and 9 is 25, the average of the numbers is equal to 25 divided by 5=5.
Let Al scores x on final test.
Average score on first 3 tests=76
Total score on first 3 tests=76×3=228
Total score in 4 tests=228+x
Average score of 4 tests=(228+x)÷4
Average to be obtained in 4 tests=81
therefore we can equate the two expressions to calculate x.
(228+x)÷4=81
or, 228+x=324
or,x=324-228
or, x=96
Hence Al needs to get 96 on his final test so that his average is 81.
