4.2x - 1.4y = 2.1
-1.4y = -4.2x + 2.1
y = (-4.2/-1.4)x + 2.1/-1.4
y = 3x - 1.5 <==
294 / 14 = 21 miles per gallon
21 * (5280 ft per mile / 3 yards per foot) =
36,960 yards per gallon
Answer:
R = -8 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll solve the given equation for R.
Subtract 3 1/2 from both sides of the equation, to isolate R:
R + 3 1/2 - 3 1/2 = -4 2/3 - 3 1/2, or
R = -4 2/3 - 3 1/2
The LCD here is 6, which is the product of 3 and 2. Converting the fractions to denominator 6, we get:
R = -4 4/6 - 3 3/6, or
R = -7 - 7/6, or R = -7 - 1 1/6, or -8 1/6
