1. Expand
2x − 2 + 4 = 4x + 4
2. Simply
2x + 2 = 4x + 4
3. Subtract
2 = 4x + 4 - 2x
4. Simplify
2 = 2x + 4
5.Subtract
2 - 4 = 2x
6. Simplify
-2 = 2x
7. Divide both sides by
-1 = x
8.Switch sides.
x = -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The average car manufactured in the United states in 2001 could drive 24.5 miles on 1 car gallon of gas. To find the number of yards the car can travel on gallon of gas, we would convert 24.5 miles.
1 mile = 1760 yards
24.5 miles = 24.5 × 1760
= 43120 yards
Therefore, the car drives 43120 yards on 1 gallon of gas.
