I'm going to represent this situation as an equation:

x = the number of gallons

y = the total cost


1.42x = y

1.42x = 14.95

[They charge $1.43 per gallon(x), and she payed a total (y) of $14.95]


You need to find the number of gallons or "x".

To do so, you isolate "x" in the equation:


1.42x = 14.95     Divide 1.42 on both sides (or divide 14.95 by 1.42)

x = 10.5    She got 10.5 gallons

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The perpendicular line would be y = -2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must solve the original equation for y.

x - 2y = 7

-2y = -x + 7

y = 1/2x - 7/2

In order to find the equation of this line, we first have to note that perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. Therefore, since the original line has a slope of 1/2, we know the new line will have a slope of -2. Now we can use that information along with the given point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -2(x + 3)

y - 2 = -2x - 6

y = -2x - 4

2. 2(x+1.25) = 3.5
dangina [55]

Answer:

x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(x + 1.25) = 3.5 ← divide both sides by 2

x + 1.25 = 1.75 ( subtract 1.25 from both sides )

x = 0.5

Over [174]

"Alaina’s sugar cookie recipe calls for 2 1/4

cups of flour per batch. If she wants to make 2/3

a batch of cookies, how much flour should she use?"

1 1/2 Cups, if she wants to make less than the original recipe, she would need less flour, you have to divide.
