Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

total distance= 850 miles

gas tank holds gas= 15 gallons

mileage = 72/3.2 miles/gallon

if

72 miles uses= 3.2 gallon

then

850 miles uses= x gallons

by cross-multiplication we get

72x=3.2(850)

x=37.778

i.e. 850 miles will use 37.7778 gallon of gas

Asgas tank holds 15 gallons

number of times gas tank is used up= 37.3/15

                                                            = 2.518

rounding off

number of times gas tank is used up=3

As they filled the gas tank at the start of the road trip, hence 3-1=2

ADDITIONAL STOPS FOR GAS WILL THEY NEED TO MAKE TO GET TO THEIR DESTINATION =2 !

Plzz hurry<br> 12/19(x-22)=38-6x-3
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

x = 929/126

Step-by-step explanation:

12/19(x-22)=38-6x-3

Combine like terms

12/19(x-22)=35-6x

Multiply each side by 19

19* 12/19(x-22)=19*(35-6x)

12( x-22) = 19*(35-6x)

Distribute

12x - 264 = 665 - 114x

Add 114x to each side

12x +114x - 264 = 665 - 114x+114x

126x -264 = 665

Add 264 to each side

126x-264+264 = 665+264

126x = 929

Divide each side by 126

126x/126 = 929/126

x = 929/126
