ANSWER: x = 1/3
WORKING OUT:
2 times x times 3 = 2
6 times x = 2
x = 1/3
Answer:
$45.22
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of miles per gallon can be represented by the ratio:

Since we know the unit rate of 26 miles per gallon of gas, we can set up a proportion, or equivalent ratios, to find the number of gallons needed for 420 miles:
, where 'x' is the number of gallons of gas
cross-multiply and divide: 26x = 420 or x ≈ 16.15 gallons
If gas is $2.80 per gallon, take the total number of gallons needed and multiply by $2.80:
16.15 x $2.80 = $45.22
Ok so first we find the equation that equals one variable.
2y = -x + 9
3x - 6y = -15
We solve for y.
2y = -x + 9
y = -x/2 + 9/2
Then we plug in this y value into the other equation to keep only one variable so we can solve for it.
3x - 6y = -15
3(-x + 9/2) - 6y = -15
-3x + 27/2 - 6y = -15
-9y + 27/2 = -15
-9y = 3/2
-y = 3/18
y = -3/18
Then we plug in this numerical y-value into the first equation which we found out by solving an equation for y.
y = -x/2 + 9/2
-3/18 = -x/2 + 9/2
-84/18 = -x/2
-x = 9 1/3
x = -28/3
Your answer would be (-28/3, -3/18)
