Answer: 14 gallons of gas.
Step-by-step explanation: For the fractions, find a common denominator, which would be 10. To get 1/5 to have a denominator of 10, multiply each number by 2. You would get 2/10. 7 gallons fills his tank from 2/10 to 7/10. Subtract the two fractions.
7/10 - 2/10 = 5/10.
7 gallons filled his tank half way. We are trying to find the amount to fill his tank all the way. So multiply 7 by 2.
7 x 2 = 14
14 gallons of gas will fill his tank all the way.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
A=-2; B=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
3a - 2b + 4 =0
2a -5b -1 = 0
Let's multiple the top equation by 2, and the bottom by -3, and then use addition.
[3a - 2b + 4 =0]*2
[2a -5b -1 = 0]*(-3)
6a-4b+8=0
-6a+15b+3=0
Now add the two equations together:
11b + 11 = 0
Subtract 11 from both sides
11b = -11
Divide both sides by 11
b=-1
Substitute in the first equation:
3a - 2(-1) + 4 = 0
Simplify to get 3a+6 = 0
Subtract 6 from both sides to get 3a = -6
Divide both sides by 3 to get a=-2
hey can you give options?
