We know that, in the US, the average mile per gallon was 25 mpg in 2015. Since we don't have the mile per gallon of the car in our problem, we are going to use that average.
For our first situation, <span>drive 0.3 miles to fill up for $3.59 per gallon:
</span>




<span>We just proved that in our trip, we used 0.012 gallon, and at $3.59 per gallon; we will pay (0.012)(3.59)=$0.04 for that gasoline.
For our second situation, </span><span>drive 1.2 miles to fill up for $3.41 per gallon:
</span>




We just proved that in our trip, we used 0.048 gallon, and at $3.41 per gallon; we will pay (0.048)(3.41)=$0.16 for that gasoline.
We can conclude that is much better to drive 0.3 miles to fill up for $3.59 per gallon than drive <span>1.2 miles to fill up for $3.41 per gallon.</span>
Answer:
The son is 20
The man is 60
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up this equation with what we know. Let <em>m</em> stand for the Man's current age, and let <em>s</em> stand for his son's current age.
We know the Man's current age is three times that of his son, so this equation can be written as: <em>m = 3s</em>
Ten years ago means the man's current age <em>minus</em> 10 years. So it is <em>m-10</em>. So ten years ago he was 5 times his son's age 10 years ago, <em>5(s-10)</em>
This can be written as: <em>m-10=5(s-10)</em>
Solve with either substitution or elimination, the choice is yours, it doesn't really matter which method you use. I'll be using substitution.
<em>m-10=5(s-10)</em>
<em>3s-10= 5s-50</em>
<em>40=2s</em>
<em>20 = s</em>
The son is <em>20</em> years old.
We know the man is currently 3 times his son's age, because <em>m=3s</em>, so just solve for m since you now know the value of <em>s.</em>
<em>m=3s</em>
<em>m=3(20)</em>
<em>m=60</em>
The man is <em>60</em> years old

Answer:
- waffle $8
- hashbrowns $1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Using w and h for the costs of a waffle and hashbrowns, respectively, we can write the equations for the purchase amounts as ...
w + h = 9.50
2w + 3h = 20.50
Subtracting twice the first equation from the second gives ...
(2w +3h) -2(w +h) = (20.50) -2(9.50)
h = 1.50 . . . . . . simplify
w = 9.50 -h = 8.00 . . . . . find w using the first equation
The cost of a waffle is $8.00; the cost of hashbrowns is $1.50.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. distribute 9 in 9(x+1)
9x + 9 = 25 + x
2. subtract x from the right side to isolate x onto one side
8x + 9 = 25
3. subtract 9 from the left side
8x = 16
4. divide both sides by 8 to get x alone
x = 2
