Approximately 50 pounds less carbon (in CO₂) will be produced by the second auto on this trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 miles.

Let us find amount of fuel used by autos by dividing the total distance by their mileage.

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 20 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}$

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 20 miles}}\times \text{gallon}$

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=30 \text{ gallons}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 30 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 30 miles}}\times \text{gallon}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=20 \text{ gallons}$

Let us find the difference of fuel used by both autos.

$\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=30-20$

$\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=10$

Since one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon, so 10 gallons of fuel will produces $5\times 10=50$ pounds of carbon.

Since 2nd auto used 10 gallons less than 1st auto, therefore, 2nd auto will produce 50 pounds less carbon than 1st auto.

the clues that signal the reader should change tone are the punctuation marks, the grammatical signs. for example, the quotation marks at the beginning of something someone else said literally or the exclamation marks.

the tone of the first line of dialogue until "gettysburg" is a kind tone, a tone of advise. the narrator is trying to the other person in doing something he or she obviously is finding hard to do by giving a piece of advise and bringing up a memory of a successful similar case.

the clue that the reader understand how to read the word "bang" is the exclamation mark. it gives the word a surprise tone, a strong accent.

the best tone for reading the word "bang" is an exciting tone, a surprise one, even a loud one.

the words that should be read with a formal tone are the ones that give factual information. the sentence: mister lincoln couldn't think of anything to say at the gettysburg" gives information about an event and it needs to be read formally, also, when the narrator wants to transmit calmness, a formal and slow tone is needed, because people also transmit messages with the vibrations of our voices and tones.

5x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

you should always add the diagrams and graphs we cannot see. this particular question is kind of borderline because we can make a graph for you.

(f + g)x = -x^2 +3x + 5 + x^2 + 2x

(f + g)x = 5x + 5

the graph of z = 5x + 5 is shown below. always use desmos when in doubt.
