C, B, G common vortex ( B) and common side (C, G)
(trying to isolate/get x by itself in the equation)
5(x + 6) = 50 Distributive property [distribute 5 into (x + 6)]
5x + 30 = 50 Subtraction [subtract 30 on both sides of the equation]
5x = 20 Division [divide 5 on both sides]
x = 4
Subtraction then division, the 2nd option
So check the picture below
if we check the solutions or zeros for the equation, we get

and as you can see in the picture, the value of "x" when y = 3.5, or the height of the truck is

the truck, ends up with a clearance of

on either side, so, the maximum clearance, the truck can have, those two clearances added together,
<em>The question has missing details. However, general questions that could be asked is as follows:</em>
<em>(1) The number of miles traveled after using (say) 5 gallons</em>
<em>(2) The number of gallons used after traveling for (say) 36 miles</em>
Answer:
See Explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

A linear equation is represented as:

Where
and

c, in this question represents the initial capacity of the tank.
So, the initial capacity is 120 liters
Solving (a): r = 5




<em>60 miles traveled</em>
Solving (b): s = 36


Collect like terms


Solve for r

<em>42 gallons used</em>
