308 miles per 11 gallons.
You need to find the amount of miles per 1 gallon.
dived the number of miles over gallons.
will look like:

it will look like for this problem
308
-------
11
308
-------- =28
11
28 miles per 1 gallon
Considering that the grows at a constant rate we can form an equation where x = how many years after it was planted
and y = its height
Now we just need to find how many feet it grows each year. To do that we just need to compare its height from a certain age to another:
6 years after it was planted : 7 feet,
so x=6 and y = 7
9 years after it was planted: 16 feet
so x= 9 y=16
With thay we can conclude that in 3 years , the tree grew 9 feet. To discover how much the tree grow each year we just nee to divide 9 feet by 3 years which is 3 feet every year.
To write the equatopn now we just need to find the y-intercept which we can discover by setting x to 0:
If in 6 years after the tree was planted it is 7 feet long , we can discover how long it was when it was planted by subtracting 6 years of growth (The slope ) which is 3
7 - 6(years)×3(feet the tree grow each year)
7 - 18 = -11
The tree was -11 feet long when it was planted
which is our y-intercept
( I know it doesnt make sense , but if you apply to a graph it will make more sense )
Now we can make the equation
y = 3x -11
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Collect like terms and calculate the sum
Answer:
x + 6 = 33
Step-by-step explanation:
6 more than x means there's an increment in the value of x by addition of 6
x + 6 = 33
This leads to an algebraic linear equation. x is an unknown variable and can be solved for
we subtract 6 from both sides of the equation
x + 6 - 6 = 33 - 6
x = 27
Therefore, we can say 6 more than 27 is 33
