Answer:

The inequality is 0.6x < 12.5

The maximum number of days that Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on is 20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

14 gallons-1.5 gallons=12.5 gallons    

we know that  

If the remaining fuel is greater than  1.5 gallons Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on    

so  

Let  

x ----> the number of days

0.6x < 12.5 inequality that represent the situation  

Solve for x

x < 12.5/0.6

x < 20.8 days

The maximum number of days that Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on is 20 days

malfutka [58]

Answer:

y = -34

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

1/4 y + 9 = 1/2

1/4 + 9 - 9 = 1/2 - 9

1/4 y = -17/2

Step 2

4 * (1/4 y) = 4* (-17/2)

y = -34
