I need the answers to this question

Answer 1

Answer: Madison can travel 2.2 miles less than Anthony on one gallon of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = 39.1$x$ represents the number of miles, $y$, that madison can drive her car for every x gallons of gas.

Question: Madison can travel _ miles _ than Anthony on one gallon of gas.

Lets find how much Madison travels on 1 gallon of gas.

39.1(1) = 39.1

Therefore, Madison travels 39.1 miles on one gallon of gas.

Now lets solve for Anthony

Anthony travels 380.7 miles on 9 gallons of gas.

Therefore we can set up the equation:

9x = 380.7 to show that 9 gallons equates to 380.7 miles

to solve divide 9 from both sides

$\frac{9x}{9} =\frac{380.7}{9}$

x = 41.3

So, Anthony travels 41.3 miles on one gallon of gas

Now find whether Madison travels more or less than Anthony on one gallon.

39.1 - 41.3 = -2.2

This means that Anthony can travel 2.2 miles more than Madison.

For your answer, this means that:

Madison can travel 2.2 miles less than Anthony on one gallon of gas

Hope this helped and have a nice day :)
