Answer:
Not proportional.
Step-by-step explanation:
The values do not begin from a straight line at the origin. X begins at 2, not the origin.
we know that
the car gets 18 miles per -----------> 1 gallon of gasoline
so
for 543 miles ---------------------> x gallons of gasoline
by proportion
543/18=x/1---------->x=543/18------->x=30.17 gallons
therefore
the answer is
30.17 gallons
If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:
5p - 3r = 1 /*2
8p + 6r = 4
__________
10p - 6r = 2
<span>8p + 6r = 4
</span>__________
10p - 6r + 8p + 6r = 2 + 4
18p = 6
p = 6/18
p = 1/3
<span>5p - 3r = 1
</span>5 * 1/3 - 3r = 1
5/3 - 3r = 1
5/3 - 1 = 3r
5/3 - 3/3 = 3r
2/3 = 3r
r = 2/9
(p, r) = (1/3, 2/9)
The correct result would be <span>(1/3, 2/9)</span>.
You take 45,000 divided by .15= 30,000
30,000 it your answer
Hope this helps
