Okay, let's do this~
we want v isolated on one side so let's bring w over through subtraction
now we have 5/9v=z-w
now, to get rid of that fraction attached to v, we will multiply it's reciprocal on both sides.
*the reciprocal of 5/9 is 9/5
(5/9) x (9/5) cancel each other leaving v isolated to the left
the other side should look like this 9/5(z-w)
now we put both parts together to end up with:
v= 9/5(z-w)
there you go! :D
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A mirror with a parabolic cross section is used to collect sunlight on a pipe located at the focus of the mirror.
The pipe is located 8 inches from the vertex of the mirror.
Assume the vertex is at the origin.
If the parabola opens upwards
then the coordinates of focus= (0,8)
We know that equation of parabola with focus (0,a) and open upards is of the form (vertex=(0,0)) is

Substitute the value of a=8 in equation, we get


Therefore, equation of the parabola that models the cross section of the mirror is 
Answer:
15 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how much the passenger car holds, we need to first find what 50% of the trucks gas tank holds.
Truck Gas Tank = 30 gallons
Now we find how much 50% of 30 is:
50% = 0.50
Total = 30 x 0.50
Total = 15 Gallons
So the passenger car holds 15 gallons of gas.
