We set up this expression that we have to simplify. Although, to make it an equation, we set the expression given equal to the variable y, making this a function too.
y=x-(2x+5)
distribute the negative symbol
y=x-2x-5
combine like terms
y=-x-5
and that is our final answer
Answer:
543.4 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
The conversion 1 gallon is 3.8 liters can be used as the rate.
To convert gallons into liters, multiply the numbers of gallons by the rate, 3.8.
