Answer:

Option (d) \frac{3}{4} gallon is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of gas present in the gas tank when she began the trip is 18\frac{1}{2} =\frac{37}{2} gallons.

Amount of gas she used in the trip is 17\frac{3}{4} =\frac{71}{4} gallons

Now, in order to find the amount gas she has left when she finished the trip, we need to subtract the amount of gas used during the trip from the gas present in the gas tank at the begining.

So, the amount of gas she have left is \frac{37}{2} -\frac{71}{4}

=\frac{74-71}{4}

=\frac{3}{4}

Hence, she left with \frac{3}{4} gallon of gas.

So, option D is correct.

Write parametric equations of the line 2x-y=3
dangina [55]
In this item we are given with the equation, 2x - y = 3. The equation contains two variables, x and y. We assume in this item that the value of x is independent of the value of y; however, y values depends on the given values of x. In parametric form, the equation would take the form,

    f(x) = y = ax + b

where a is the numerical coefficient of x and b is constant. Transforming the given equation to this form,

   f(x)  = y = 2x - 3
