The answer is 117 miles and if you were given the miles intead multiply 117 (or whatever the number would havw been) by 8 then divid th product by 312 to get the amount of gas used
First find the formula which is A(N)=A+(N-1)D then fill in what you know
N=term your looking for
A=first term
D= common diffrence
Once filled in you will get this 18(18)=18+(18-1)-6
then solve to get 324= -84
Your final answer is that the 18th term is -84
Hope I could help
I think the correct answer would be : (-8,3)
I hope this helps !
Solution
For this case we can do the following:
11y - 3x = 18
16y -3x = 33
We can multiply the first equation by -1 and we got:
-11y +3x =-18
16y -3x = 33
_______________
16y -11y = 33-18
5y = 15
y= 15/5 = 3
And then solving for x we got
x = -(18 -11*3)/ 3= -15/3 = 5
