I don’t know the gap at the beginning but the answer is c
Answer:
The second tank.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both filling up at the same rate, all you would have to do is multiply the gallons.
4/5 multiplying top and bottom by 8 is 32/40
7/8 multiplying top and bottom by 5 is 35/40
For part A, The answer is that the car gets better gas mileage. We can see it from the graph that the number of gallons used is on the X axis, and the distance traveled using those number of gallons is on the Y axis. The easiest way to compare would be to look at the 1 gallon of gas. You can see that you can travel 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. The truck on the other hand will get you 18 miles per gallon. Imagine putting 1 in for X, the Y value would be 18 if you did this. The graph just shows us a visual way of saying the same thing. To determine how much farther the car with a girl on 8 gallons of gas, you would just multiply 8 by 25 for the number of miles traveled by the car. You would multiply 8 by 18 to find the number of miles traveled for the truck. The answers are 200 miles for the car and 144 miles for the truck. 200-144=56 miles farther for the car.
3x - 2y = 8 +
===》 46x = 16
43x + 2y = 8
x = 16/46
x = 8/23
______________________________
3x - 2y = 8
3(8/23) - 2y = 8
24/23 - 2y = 8
2y = 24/23 - 8
y = 12/23 - 4
y = 12/23 - 92/23
y = - 80/23
