I would say direct because the more gallons of gasoline used, the bigger the cost.
Um.. Both of those equations are the exact same. Divide both sides of the first equation by 6. You get:

That is the exact same as the second equation. This system has an infinite number of solutions. 5x - 7y = -1 is a line, so basically every point on that line is a solution to the system.
For example,

and

would work, but so would

Answer:
- ( 17 )
Step-by-step explanation:
m = 2
n = 19
m^2
= 2^2
= 2 x 2
= 4
3m
= 3 x 2
= 6
3m - ( m^2 + n )
= 3m - ( m^2 + n )
= 6 - ( 4 + 19 )
= 6 - 23
= - ( 17 )
12 goes into 276 23 times.
The answer is 1/4. divide both sides by 12
