Answer:
5 8/15 Gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Change mixed numbers into improper fractions.
14 1/5 = 71/5
8 2/3 = 26/3
Step 2: Change the improper fractions to have the same denominator.
71/5 = 213/15
26/3 = 130/15
Step 3: Subtract
213/15 - 130/15 = 83/15
Step 4: Simplify
83/15 = 5 8/15
Hope this helps! :D
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
y = -1/3x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are perpendicular, the signs of the slope must be opposite and the slopes are reciprocals.
(basically if one is say -2/3, the other is 3/2. just flip it upside down)
So this slope is 3, so the new slope should be -1/3
The equation is now y = -1/3x + b
To find b, substitute (-9,5) in the equation
y = -1/3x + b
5 = -1/3(9) + b
5 = -3 + b
8 = b
So the equation is y = -1/3x + b

Answer:
it is application of the multiplication property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use "cross products" to solve any proportion. What looks like a "cross product" is just application of the multiplication property of equality. That property says the variable value is unchanged if both sides of the equation are multiplied by the same value.
For your fraction, the "cross product" is what you get when you multiply both sides of the equation by 500.

Note that the next step here is to divide by the x-coefficient, the 5 that was in the left-side denominator.

Please also note that this is exactly the same result you would get by multiplying the original equation by the original denominator of x.
