Hi,
find the x- and y-intercepts:
10x + 4y = 20
finding x-intercept when y = 0
10x = 20
x = 2 Pt(2,0) the x intercept
finding y-intercept when x = 0
4y = 20
y = 5 Pt(0,5) the y intercept
Looking at the set, we are given 18 elements. 17 is prime; it has only two factors: 1 and 17, since 1•17=17. So, the question is really asking what is the probability the numbers 1 or 17 is chosen. As mentioned earlier, 17 is prime, so there are two possible choices: 1 and 17.
P (probability) = possible outcomes / total outcomes
It is important to note that these events are “or” events, meaning that the probability can only be determined by choosing a 1 or a 17; you can’t randomly chose a 1 and 17 at the same time. So, the formula is:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
All this is saying is that given two possible outcomes, the probability occurs independent of each event; they don’t occur at the same time.
P(1 or 17) = P(1)/18 + P(1)/18
P(1 or 17) = 2/18
Since 17 is prime, it’s two and only factors are 1 and 17. The probability of randomly choosing a 1 or 17 is 2/18, meaning that there are 2 elements in the set out of a possible 18 elements that can be randomly chosen.
2/18 simplifies to 1/9
So, your answer is 1/9
I'm sorry but the solution you proposed was a bit hard to follow, so I'll just post my solution: we convert "2 and 1/2" to a single fraction:

So, we know that 5/2 gallons cost 60 dollars, which means

To find the cost of a single gallon, we have to solve the equation for g:
