Answer:
here,x=123, is the answer.
You said X = (5y+1) / (y-2)
Multiply each side by (y-2):
X(y-2) = (5y+1)
Eliminate parentheses:
Xy - 2X = 5y + 1
Add 2X to each side:
Xy = 5y + 1 + 2X
Subtract 5y from each side:
(X-5)y = 1 + 2X
Divide each side by (X-5):
<em>y = (1+2X) / (X-5) </em>
the answer is 0.2 or one fifths
Answer:
168 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If he uses 5 gallons to drive 140 miles, that means that he can drive 24 miles for every gallon (140/5=24)
7 times 24 is 168 so he can drive 168 miles on 7 gallons of gas
