Thanks for the free points hope you find your awnser!
Answer:
24 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
since the two triangles are similar,
10cm/20cm = 36cm _ h/h
The mileage is the independent variable. You can control it. The gasoline remaining DEPENDS ON the number of miles different. That's why it's called the dependent variable. It's change depends on the change in the independent variable

To correctly graph this, you need to set up a simple equation and table of values. Luckily, this equation is dead-simple; I'll define <em>y</em> as the total cost and <em>x</em> as the number of water bottles sold.

Since 1.50$ is the cost for one bottle, multiplying that with your variable that defined the amount of bottles, <em>x</em>, gets you the total, <em>y</em>. Now that we have a basic equation, we can begin plugging in values.
Recall that a function is basically just something that takes in a value and returns another one; in our case, it takes the <em>amount of bottles</em> and returns the <em>total cost. </em>Now, plug in the x-values present on the graph (specifically only whole numbers, since you can't have a half bottle). I can't make a proper table but I'll make do.
x y
--------
0 0
1 1.5
2 3
3 4.5
4 6
5 7.5
-----------
Great, now that you have a table of values all you have to do is plug them into the graph, which I've attached. It's pretty crude since I drew it in mspaint but I'm sure you get the point at this point.
69 - 3a = 0
69 - 3a (-69) = 0 (-69)
-3a = -69
-3a(/-3) = -69(/-3)
a = 23
hope this helps
