i would subtract 7 and divide by 4;

4x + 7 = 15

4x = 8

x = 2

1. Isolate the variable. Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation. (4x+7-7 = 15-7)
2. ( 4x = 8) This is what you should come up with after subtraction.
3. Divide (4x=8) by 4 to isolate x.
4. After dividing both sides by 4, (x=2) should be the answer.

I need help with #6 plzzzz

xz_007 [3.2K]

First, find the unit rate.
Since the car travels 476 miles with 14 gallons of gas, then 476/14 = 34, so the car can travel 34 miles per gallon.

The distance is 34 times the number of gallons

d = 34g

Now you are given 578 miles, and you need to find the gallons.

578 = 34g

Solve for g by dividing both sides by 34.

g = 17

He needs 17 gallons.
