Answer:

The cost of 1 gallon is $2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cost of 14 gallons = $35

Required

Determine the cost of 1 gallon

From the given parameters, we have:

$14\ gallons = \$35$

Divide both sides by 14

$\frac{14\ gallons}{14} = \frac{\$35}{14}$

$1\ gallon = \frac{\$35}{14}$

$1\ gallon = \$2.5$

Hence,

The cost of 1 gallon is $2.5

Answer:

The answer to your question is : f(-2) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Just look for -2 in the x- axis and look for some line or point, vertical to number two.

In your example you can find a point two units upward the x-axis.

A water truck is filling a swimming pool. The equation that represents this relation is y=18.25x where y is the number of gallon

QveST [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, however, one of the requirements of this question while I searched, was to make a table and sketch the equation.

If this is the case, then, all you need to do is take the equation, Assume some values for x, and compute the values of y. Then, you can do the graph.

I begin with value from 0 to 10.

This is the example of calculations:

x = 0

y = 18.25*0 = 0

for x = 0, we get y = 0. For x = 2:

y = 18.25 * 2 = 36.5

If we keep doing this, we should get a straight line. See the graph and attached table. If the question is asking another thing, then please get back to me to answer it.
