You can solve this by using the system of equations.
Jan - 4.95 = 2H + 3C
Wayne - 5.45 = 3H + 2C
Use elimination.
-3(2H + 3C = 4.95)
2(3H + 2C = 5.45)
Solve. And you'll get:
-6H + (-9C) = -14.85
6H + 4C = 10.9
Cross out -6H and 6H because they cancel out. And you're left with:
-9C = -14.85
4C = 10.9
Add -9C with 4C, and -14.85 with 10.9.
-5C = -3.95
Divide each side with -5.
C = $0.79
Now to figure out what H is, just substitute the C in one of the equations with 0.79.
5.45 = 3H + 2(0.79)
5.45 = 3H + 1.58
-1.58 -1.58
3.87 = 3H
3.87/3 = 3/3(H)
1.29 = H
Finished!
Answer:
The second one
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function will always increase or decrease by the same amount:
The first one adds eight for every increase of 1 in the x value
The third one subtracts three for every increase of 1 in the x value
However,
The second one starts by adding three, and then adds 1.5 for the rest
The second table is nonlinear
1) divide 26.32 by 8 = 3.29
2) 3.29 x 20= 65.80
3) he would spend 65.80 on 20 gallons of gas
