24
Since each trip takes half a gallon of gas, you divide the amount of gas by how much per trip.
That gives you 24 trips he can make with the gas.
The 3rd selection is appropriate.
.. 5b +1 = a = 3b +5
by the transitive property of equality,
.. 5b +1 = 3b +5
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
b is the correct answer
2 X { 6 + [ 12 divided ( 3 + 1 ) ] } - 1
3 + 1 = 4
12 divided by 4 is 3
2 X { 6 + [ 3 ] } - 1
6 + 3 = 9
2 X { 9 } - 1
9 X 2 = 18
18 - 1 = 17!
17 is the answer
