Answer:
We have been given that a car can travel 476 miles on 14 gallons of gas and we are asked to write an equation relating the distance d to the number of gallons g.
We can set an equation as distance traveled is directly proportional to number of gallons used in travelling that distance.
Now we will find out K(number of miles traveled in one gallon of gas) by substituting our given values in this equation.
Therefore, we can see that car travels 34 miles in one gallon of gas.
Now we can use this information to find out how many gallons of gas does this car need to travel 578 miles.
Let us divide number of miles to be traveled by number of miles traveled in one gallon of gas to find out number of gallons of gas needed.
Therefore, car need 17 gallons of gas to travel 578 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the solution of x is 3, then the solution of 6x would be 18, because 3*6=18. :)

Answer:
<em>The measure of the angles is 45° and 135°</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
When two lines intersect, a linear pair of angles is formed. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.
Let's call x and y the two required angles. Knowing they form a linear pair:
x+y=180
We also know one angle is 1/3 of the other angle, thus:
x=y/3
Or, equivalently:
3x=y
Substituting y into the first equation:
x+3x=180
Simplifying:
4x=180
Solving:
x=180/4=45
The other angle is:
y=3x=3\cdot 45=135
Thus the measure of the angles is 45° and 135°
