Are we finding x? Or are we solving the equation with x
Plug 8 for y
8 = 2x + 4
Subtract 4
4 = 2x
Divide by 2
x = 2
Plug 16 for y
16 = 2x + 4
Subtract by 4
12 = 2x
Divide by 2
x = 6
Substitute 20 for y
20 = 2x + 4
16 = 2x
x = 8
Substitute 22 for y
22 = 2x + 4
18 = 2x
9 = x
So the values are 2, 6, 8, 9
C and E that is the answer
<span>At a corner gas station, the revenue R varies directly with the number g of gallons of gasoline sold. If the revenue is $44.50 when the number of gallons sold is 10, find a linear equation that relates revenue R to the number g of gallons of gasoline. Then find the revenue R when the number of gallons of gasoline sold is 15.5.
Solution:
As the question mentioned the direct relationship between the quantities, hence
10 gallons of gasoline sold = $44.50
15.5 gallons of gasoline sold = $x
by cross multiplication, we get that
10x = 15.5 * 44.50
which implies that
x = 68.975
Thus by $</span>68.975 revenue is obtained by selling 15.5 gallons of gasoline.
