Food = 1/4
gasoline = 3/5
Total = 1/4 + 3/5 = 17/20
17/20 = 272
1/20 = 272 ÷ 17 = 16
20/20 = 16 x 20 = $320
You need to multiply the four numbers and then takeway
We are going to base the answer off of the y=mx+b form where m represents slope and b represents the y-intercept.
First, we know that b must be -1 because the line hits the y-axis when y is -1
So this leaves us with either the first or second choice
Then we choose two points to find the slope. I am using (0,-1) and (1,2). If you count the boxes, the y-value increases by 3 as the x-value increases by 1. So the slope is 3/1 or 3.
So then we know the answer is y=3x-1
Hope this helps

<span>The solution to the equation 2/3 A= -24 is the coordinate of point A.
2/3 A = -24
A = -24 / 2/3
A = -24 * 3/2
A = -72/2
A = -36
The solution to the equation 20=-b/0.5 is the coordinate of point B
20 = -b/0.5
20 * 0.5 = -b
10 = -b
10/-1 = -b/-1
-10 = b
A = -36 and B = -10
The distance between the two letters is 26 units. </span>
