Here! :) i hope this helps bunny!
Y= -3/5x - 2 Add -3/5x to both sides
3/5x +y= -2 Multiply both sides by 5 because 5 is the denominator.
By multiplying by 5 you can cancel out and make it a real number.
5(3/5x +y) = -2(5)
3x + 5y= -10 is the answer.
So, if the page is 12 inches wide, that's the width of the page, 12, minus the width of the photo, 7 1/2. 12 - 7 1/2 = 4 1/2.
Now, we need to divide 4 1/2 by 2, so it will be even on both sides.
4 1/2 divided by 2 = 2 1/4.
He should put the picture 2 1/4 inches from each side of the page.
Answer:
1.75 gallons
1 pint = 0.125 gallon
With that information, we can write a proportion:
= 
Cross multiply:
x = 1.75 gallons
