Let y=x+6 be equation 1...
Replace equation 1 in equation 2
X+6 =-2x-3
X+2x = -3 -6
3x = -9
X = -3
Answer:
Part A) 25
Part B) 225
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
The slope of the graph gives us the mile per gallon of the car.
Recall that the slope of the graph is rise over run.

Therefore car gets 25 miles per gallon
Part B) Since we know the slope of the direct variation line, we substitute into y=kx to get:

To find the number of miles the car travels using 9 gallons, we substitute x=9 to get:

This gives us 225 miles
5% is 0.05 in decimals. To get 5% of M, multiply it. To convert a percentage into decimals, divide the number by 100. 20/100 is 0.2. 0.2 is the tip. Do the same as 0.05 and add in the actual cost of the meal (M). Check image
