Multiply 2 and 3 also multiply 4 and 5 and then divide the products together like so 2x3 divided by 4x5 so 6 divided by 20
Answer:
y = 3x + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the reciprocal of the slope and change signs: -3
2. y = 3x + b
3. Plug in x and y --> b = 15
4. Make your equation using y = mx + b: y = 3x + 15

Answer:
f = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the method of cross- multiplication
= 
⇒ ad = bc, thus
20f = 5(f + 3) ← distribute
20f = 5f + 15 ( subtract 5f from both sides )
15f = 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )
f = 1
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
