Answer:
x=24
Step-by-step explanation:
The Quotient(dividing) of a number(x) and 6 minus(-) 3 IS(=) 1.
Which turns into:
- 3 = 1
We want to get x by itself so we divide the entire equation by 6.
6 ( - 3 = 1 )
x - 18 = 6
We want to move the plain numbers to one side so x can be by itself. So we add 18 to both sides.
x = 24
70/2 = 35
The car gets 35 miles per gallons.
You can also find that out by looking at the slope of the equation. y = 35x. 35 is the slope here.
For your graph, plot the points:
(0,0)
(1,35)
(2,70)
(3,105)
(4,140)
(5,175)
(6,210)
(7,245)
(8,280)
And then draw a line through the points.
By setting up proportions and cross multiplying, the height would be 990.8.
