One of the easier approaches would be that of x- and y-intercepts.
Setting x=0 results in y=-10; the y-intercept is (0, -10).
Setting y = 0 results in x = 5, so the x-intercept is (5,0).
Plot these 2 points. Then draw a str. line thru these points.
Divide the miles by the gallons used for each car to find the miles per gallon, then compare them:
Blue car: 18 2/5 miles / 0.8 gallons = 23 miles per gallon.
Red car: 17 2/5 miles / 0.7 gallons = 24.86 miles per gallon.
The red car can travel farther on 1 gallon of gas.
-(4/5)*(3/7)*(15/16)*(-14/9) [two negatives make one positive]
=(4*3*15*14)/(5*7*16*9) [simplify 4/16]
=(3*15*14)/(5*7*4*9)
=(3*3*14)/(7*4*9)
=(14)/(7*4)
=(2)/(4)
=1/2
