Given that R = 8 x + 4 y Find y when x = 8 and R = 30 Give your answer as an improper fraction in its simplest form.

y = -17/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute with the givens.

30= 8(8) + 4y.

Multiply parentheses.

30 = 64 + 4y

Subtract.

30-64= -34

-34 = 4y.

Divide each side by 4.

y = - 8.5, or -17/2

hope that is right!

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

hope this you
