42, because 1/6 of 42 is seven. I could be wrong but I think this is the correct answer
A parallel equation (when graphed) will have the same slope, but a different y-intercept.
As long as you keep y = -
x + b, you can input anything for b to solve this question.
Given:
y = -x - 5
Equation of a parallel line:
y = -x + 6, y = -x + 1,356, y = -x - 8, etc
Example answer you can use:
y = -x - 8
..........The answer is D
The first thing to note is since one gallon= 60 miles then 1/2 gallon= 30 miles, now I know 1/2 is not an answer but it is easiest to decrease in moderate amounts. 1/2 gallon= 48 Km so we are close, and 1/2=0.5 so if we brought it down to 0.42 we would have 25.2 miles and 25.2 miles = 40.32. The question wants to know the approximate number and 40.32 is the closest we are going to get so the answer is 0.42
the answer should be d if my math is correct
