Answer: 22 miles per gallon.
Step-by-step explanation: you divide 264 by 12 and you get 22 making it the answer.
Here your base (1.5) is greater than zero, so you have exponential growth here. That " ^ " is the tip-off to exponentiation.
You have to go past the decimal point in since the first number in the tenths place is a zero you can't really round here so you go to the hundreds place and not so three you round down because 3 is closer to 0 then it is 10 so it would be 1. 4
X (X - 1) = 342
x² - x = 342
x² - x - 342 = 0
X = 19
