Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So to solve this, we want to know how many miles can we do in every 1 gallon of gas.

To solve this, we do: 380 / 14 = 27.14 miles for every 1 gallon

Okay, so if we have 1/2 a gallon stashed away, how far can we get on every 1/2 gallon...

To solve this, we do: 27.14 / 2 = 13.57 miles for every 1/2 gallon


So...

The answer is: We will NOT be able to get to the Gas Station that is 15miles away, because we can only go about 13.5 miles with every 1/2 gallon.

y > -5

Hope this helps! Just in case you don’t understand the final answer, when dividing or multiplying by a negative number you flip the sign!
