Answer: You need 3 gallons of gas

==============================================

Work Shown:

(1 gallon gas)/(4 oz of oil) = (x gallons of gas)/(12 oz of oil)

1/4 = x/12

1*12 = 4*x ...... cross multiply

12 = 4x

4x = 12

4x/4 = 12/4 ... divide both sides by 4

x = 3 gallons of gas is needed

1) Jason's football team lost 6 yards from their starting positions and then lost five yards. What number represents a loss of 6
djyliett [7]

Ans: Let it started from zero. And it lasts 6 yards means that -6 represents a loss of 6 yards.

After that, the team lost 5 yards. So, -11 will represent a loss of 5 yards

<span>The team after gaining 12 yards on next day will not be at their starting position. Instead, it will be at ‘1yard’ more than the starting position. The number will be ‘1’ which will represent the position of the team after gaining 12 yards.</span>

Which of these is a correct expansion of (3x -2)(2x^2+5)
labwork [276]

(3x−2)(2x^2+5)

=(3x+−2)(2x^2+5)

=(3x)(2x^2)+(3x)(5)+(−2)(2x^2)+(−2)(5)

=6x^3+15x−4x^2−10

=6x^3−4x^2+15x−10
