Set up a ratio of known to unknown:
Let X = the amount of gas needed for 500 miles:
220/12 = 500/x
Cross multiply:
220x = 6000
Divide both sides by 220:
X = 6000 / 220
x = 27.27 gallons (round answer as needed).
3,059 I don’t really care
Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
When x = 1, y = -2.
Hope it helps <3
Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.
On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of 
On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of 
So, the equation we want to solve is

Subtract 3x from both sides:

Subtract 8 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 2:
