First let’s establish a few things, The first car can travel 300 miles with 20 gallons of gas, if 14 gallons of gas costs 49.49 then for ever gallon of gas Sam is paying 3 dollars and 53.5 cents. That means for 20 gallons, Sam will need around 71$ for the entire trip if he uses the first car.
The answer should be 5.5 because you have to divide it. The fraction would be 5 over 10
We have the function 
and we want to find a function that has the same y-intercept than the previous function.
First, let's find the y-intercept by subtituting 0 for 'x'.
Now that we found that y-intercept =-3, any lineal function of the type: 
will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' can take all the real values.
Also, any quadratic function of the type: 
will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' and 'b' can take all the real values.
x = total amount of students in 8th Grade.
we know only one-thrid of the class went, so (1/3)x or x/3 went.
we also know 5 coaches went too, and that the total amount of that is 41.
now, to verify, well, what do you get for (108/3) + 5?
We need more to answer the question I think
