<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>
Let x denotes the number of days and y denotes the total change in gas price ( in dollars).
Given : During the past seven days the price of regular gas is decreased by $0.2 each day.
Rate of decrease =$0.2 per day
Then , Total change in gas price = Rate of decrease x Number of days
i.e.
i.e. (1)
To find the total change in gas price in 7 days , we put x= 7 in (1) , we get
Hence, the total change in gas price in 7 days = $1.4
1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4(d - 2)
First, simplify
to 
/ Your problem should look like: + 
= 
(d - 2)
Second, simplify
to 
/ Your problem should look like: + =
Third, multiply both sides by 12 (the LCM of 6,4) / Your problem should look like: 2d + 8 = 3(d - 2)
Fourth, expand. / Your problem should look like: 2d + 8 = 3d - 6
Fifth, subtract 2d from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8 = 3d - 6 - 2d
Sixth, simplify 3d - 6 - 2d to d - 6 / Your problem should look like: 8 = d - 6
Seventh,add 6 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 8 + 6 = d
Eighth, simplify 8 + 6 to 14 / Your problem should look like:14 = d
Ninth, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: d = 14
Answer: d = 14
