bearing in mind that standard form for a linear equation means
• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions
• only the constant on the right-hand-side
• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted
• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

The entire trip will take 6 days.
(Encircle this answer, as said on the directions)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the first three days of the trip, we traveled 1380 miles.
Find the UNIT RATE of MILES PER day:
1380/3 = 460
Unit rate = 460 miles per day
If we were to drive at this (460 mi per day) rate EACH day and the whole journey takes 2760 miles across the country.
FInd the NUMBER of DAYS of the ENTIRE TRIP:
2760/460 = 6
It will take us 6 days to drive to the destination.
Answer:
72.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply your first 2 terms
4.5* (-9) = -40.5
multiply this by -1.8
-40.5*-1.8 = 72.9
Your answer is 175.
Hope this helps!
