Solve: y = 3x - 4
y = x + 2

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x to plug in to other equation

y   =   x  +  2

-y-x     -y-x

(- x = -y + 2) / -1

x = y - 2

Plug into other equation

y = 3(y-2) - 4

Distribute

y = 3y-6-4

y = 3y-10

-3y  -3y

(-2y = -10)/-2

y = 5

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal
