Amount of fuel in the tank before the story begins . . . . . zero.
Total amount poured in . . . . . 3/4 gallon.
Total amount burned:
on Friday . . . . . 1/4 gallon
on Sunday . . . . 1/4 gallon
Total used . . 1/2 gallon .
Amount remaining in the tank on Monday:
(3/4 gallon in) - (1/2 gallon burned) = 1/4 gallon left.
==> NOT empty
The tank would have been empty on Monday IF Becky
had poured in only 1/2 gallon, instead of 3/4 of a gallon
before the first flakes began to fly.

Answer:
k = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the given value of x in the equation, and solve the resulting equation for k.
2(5 -3) +k(1 +2·5) = k - 5 - 1
2(2) +k(11) = k -6 . . . . simplify a bit
10k = -10 . . . . . . . . . . add -4-k to both sides
k = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10
The value of k is -1.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Use k = -1 in the original equation and solve for x.
2(x -3) -(1 +2x) = -1 -x -1
2x -6 -1 -2x = -x -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses
x = 7 -2 = 5 . . . . . . add x+7; answer checks OK

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 5x + 3 = 2x - 1
or, 2x + 5x = 3 + 1
or, 6x = 4
or, x = 4/ 6
Therefore x = 2 /3
Hope it will help :)❤
