Lulu is taking a road trip to visit family. her car has a 20-gallon gas tank and the car uses 12 gallons to travel 216 miles.
which linear equation represents the number of gallons of gas, g, left in the tank after driving m miles?
a. g = 360 - 18m
b. g = 20 - 18m
c. g=20 - 1gm
d. g=360 - 16"

The answer is G = 20 - m/18, but none of the answers given is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to help Lulu to answer the question correctly:

Capacity of the gas tank of Lulu's car = 20 gallons

Lulu can travel 216 miles using 12 gallons

2. Which linear equation represents the number of gallons of gas, G, left in the tank after driving m miles?

G = number of gallons left in Lulu's car

m = Miles driven by Lulu

miles per gallon = 216/12 = 18 miles per gallon

Now, we can write the linear equation, this way:

G = Capacity of the gas tank of Lulu's car - miles driven/miles per gallon

Replacing with the values we know:

G = 20 - m/18

Let's assume Lulu drives 180 miles, using our linear equation, we have:

G = 20 - 180/18

G = 20 - 10 = 10 gallons left

Let's assume Lulu drives 54 miles, using our linear equation, we have

G = 20 - 54/18

G = 20 - 3 = 17 gallons left

step-by-step explanation:

14 x 3 = 42

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
