Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x+12)= 20
5x+60= 20
5x= -40
x= -8
this is the answer y=−1/2x+45/2
Quantity of gasoline needed by a car to run 800 miles = 30 gallons
Quantity of gasoline needed by a car to run 1 mile =
= 30 ÷ 800
= 0.0375 gallons
So , to run 1 mile a car would need = 0.0375 gallons of oil
To run 700 miles the quantity of gasoline needed =
= 700 × 0.0375
= 26.25 gallons of gasoline
Therefore , a car will use 26.25 gallons of gasoline on a trip of 700 miles .
You just have to find what x is. Pretend there isn't the signs and think of it as = signs. Then whatever u do on one side do it to all of them
The easiest way to remember is you can draw the graph without picking up your pencil.
