This is how I'd set it up:
405/20 = 243/x
this means the mpg (miles / gallons) for 1 situation is the same as the mpg for the other situation (because the rate is the same)
then just cross multiply and solve:
405x=243*20 or 405x=4860 or x = 12
he would need 12 gallons of gas for 243 miles
Answer:
2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
area= length*width
length= 1.5
width= 1.5
1.5*1.5= 2.25
So, the answer is 2.25
True because if you do 2 x 12 that will equal 24. Then it says +1 so it will be 25. So, it's true.
X = number of dimes
y = number of quarters
---
10x + 25y = 2565
y = x + 20
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
10x + 25y = 2565
x - y = -20
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

solution:
x = 59
y = 79
