Answer:
A) gallons
B) Distance between Town A and Town B is miles
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
We know, number of gallons =
if miles per gallon (mpg) is given as 24 & total distance travelled is 3x miles, then, using formula we have:
Number of Gallons =
B)
Now, given is number of gallons = 2y & we know mpg is 24; <em>so what is the distance?</em>
We use the same formula and solve for distance (let distance between A and B be "D"):
8/28=4/14=2/7
2/7 is simplest form
Not 100% sure but hopefully this helps
Parallel lines have the same slope
Y = -8x + 8
The slope will be -8
Therefore: y = -8x + b
Plug in the point
7 = -8(9) + b
7 = -72 + b, b = 79
Solution: y = -8x + 79
