The answer is <a is congruent to < d
because you already have <abe = <dbe
1 unit to the left
Check the table I attached
The denominator of the second fraction can be factored as (a-2)(2a-7), then it becomes doable. You cancel the (2a-7) factors, and are left with:

Do note that you have erased the fact that a≠0 and a≠7/2, so you should always mention that.
Hey!

Car #1: 300/43.2 = 6.9444 gallons
(Rounded) Car #2: 300/35.9 = 8.3565 gallons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Rounded) Car #1: 6.9444*3.19 = $22.16 to re-fill their tank
(Rounded) Car #2: 8.3565*3.19 = $26.66 to re-fill their tank
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Rounded) Difference: $26.66 - 22.15 = $4.50
To re-fill Car 2's tank is approximately $4.50 more to re-fill Car 1's tank...
The top part equals 1 because anything to the power of zero equals one. then for the second one bring every variable with a negative exponent to the top and leave the 2 at the bottom
