Answer:  2x + 15 = 243

Gas Tank: $15

Matthew: x

Gas Tank + Matthew + Devin = Total

       15      +       x        +     x    =  243

Gina shows the steps she took to find the solution of the inequality below.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

hello,2 th made from the wrong place.

because She should have distributed the -2 inside the parentheses.

the process should be like this;

19-2(1-x)<13

17(1-x)<13

17-17x<13

-17x<13-17 (17 goes to the opposite side as -17)

-17x<-4 (we divide each side by 17)

x= -4/-17

I hope you understand. There are errors in the first 2 parts of the question.
