Answer:
The length and width of the rectangle are 20 feet and 31.25 feet, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the scale be 
and the dimensions of the rectangle being 4 inches and 5 inches, respectively. The scale (
), measured in inches per feet, is equivalent to the following rational number:
We can convert each length by dividing it by scale factor. That is:
Length
Width
The length and width of the rectangle are 20 feet and 31.25 feet, respectively.
Josiah would need 10 gallons to travel 265 miles.
First we divide 79.5 by 3 to find out how many gallons are needed for one mile.
79.5/3=26.5
For one mile we need 26.5 gallons of gas.
Now we will divide 265 by 26.5 to find the answer to the problem.
265/26.5=10
Josiah will need 10 gallons of gas to travel 265 miles
The answer is -1/4.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
x + y = 3
x = 3 - y
y = 2x - 15
y = 2(3 - y) - 15
y = 6 - 2y - 15
y = -2y - 9
3y = -9
y = -3
y = 2x - 15
-3 = 2x - 15
-2x = -12
x = 6
So...
The answer is: (6, -3)
