Gas costs $6 per gallon and diesel costs $8 per gallon. You have at most $85 to spend on fuel. You must purchase at least 12 gal
lons of gas for your car to run for the week. Let x be the amount of gas purchased and y be the amount of diesel purchased. Which of the following is a possible solution?
If 5 yards of fabric is $14 you need an equation that would solve how much 1 yard of fabric costs. You can say 5x = 14 or x = 2.8 which means that one yard of fabric (1x or just x) is $2.80.
