Even though we don't know what the number is, we have to
give it some name, so that we have something to work with. 

Now, 16 out of every 19 people will call the number ' X '. 
But I like to call it ' M ' instead, for 'Mystery number'.

The mystery number . . . . .  M
The sum of the number and 8 . . .  M + 8
Half of that sum . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1/2)(M + 8)
10 added to that sum . . . . . . . . .  (1/2)(M + 8) + 10

You said that the result is 30, so I can write:

                                       (1/2) (M + 8)  + 10  =  30

Now, subtract 10
from each side:              (1/2) (M + 8)           =  20

Multiply each side by  2 :         M + 8            =  40   

Subtract  8 from
each side:                                 M                  =  32 .


Check to see if that's correct.
Take 32, and do everything to it that the question says:

The number . . . . . . . . . .  32  ?
The sum of the number and 8 . . .  32 + 8 = 40
Half of that sum . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1/2)(40) = 20
10 added to that sum . . . . . . . . .         20 + 10  =  30

You said that the result is 30, and by golly IT IS !
So the mystery number is really 32.
yay !

10 + ( x+8 )/2 = 30

multiply all by 2
20 + ( x+8 ) = 60
x + 28 = 60
x = 32

Answer:

The average is exactly 26,375 gallons of gas per hour.

How I found this is buy subtracting each numbers like 422,000 - 369,250 = 52,750. 369,250 - 316,500 = 52, 750 and so on. They all ended up being 52,750, but then I realized that they are all 2 hours apart and the question asks of gallons of gas per 1 hour so then I divided 52,750 in half and got my final answer, 26,375.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how much gas the jet uses per 1 hour

my question doesn't ask me to create a linear model but it asks for gasoline per hour, and it's just like this question with the same graph so if you have the same as me this is the answer.
