Answer:
B. 10.71 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
Benito's other expenses total ...
$809 +170 +57 = $1036
so his gas expense is ...
$1822 -1036 = $786
Then the per-mile cost is ...
$786/(7340 mi) ≈ $0.10708/mi
Benito's gas cost averaged 10.71¢ per mile.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
All we have to do is use the addition property of equality to isolate x.

The trick is to get the X all alone on one side. Start by subtracting 2 from both sides. This wqould give you -1/2X+2-2=-x+7-2 or simplified to -1/2x=-x+5. Next, add x to both sides to give you -1/2x+x=-x+5+x. This simplifies to +1/2x=5. Multiplying by 2 on both sides will get rid of the fraction. Therefore 2*1/2x=5*2. This simplifies to your final answer of x=10.
