a) Jodi's car traveled 38 miles per gallon of gas. We know this because by dividng the amount of miles traveled by number of gallons Jodi has in her car we can find how many miles she travels per gallon of gas.
So our equation would be 456 / 12 = 38
b) The cost per gallon of gas was $3.74. We can find this answer by dividing how much she paid ($44.88) by how many gallons she bought (12).
So our equation would be 44.88 / 12 = 3.74
We know that the sum of arc ND and arc ML divided by 2 is equivalent to 6x + 23.
Thus, we can form an equation:
6x + 23 = (11x + 8 + 3x + 14)/2
Simplify:
6x + 23 = (14x + 22)/2
Simply again:
6x + 23 = 7x + 11
Subtract 6x from both sides:
23 = x + 11
Subtract 11 from both sides
x = 12
Option A, or x = 12
