If I've read this correctly, it looks like this.
If that is correct, then the first step is to put the top part of the denominator over 3x
The next part is to flip a three tier fraction. I'm afraid I have to show what happens. My latex is not that strong.
What you get is
This is just about your final answer. You could write it as
Answer:
73 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The question seems to be incomplete because the model is missing, I found a similar question with the addition of the model, so if we can solve it (see attached image).
We have that the model would be:
y = 43.81 - 0.395 * x
We need to solve for x, if y = 15
Replacing:
15 = 43.81 - 0.395 * x
Solving for x we have:
0.395 * x = 43.81 - 15
0.395 * x = 28.81
x = 28.81 / 0.395
x = 72.9
We are asked to round to the nearest number therefore x = 73.
The car will average 15 miles per gallon at the speed of 73 miles per hour.
