9. To fill up his fuel tank, Sam puts in 16.8 gallons of gas at $3.90 per gallon. How much does Sam spend on fuel? Round to the hundredths place.

$65.52

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = amount spent on fuel = ?

m = price per gallon = $3.90

x = gallons  = 16.8

b is not needed for this problem

y = (3.90)(16.8)

y = $65.52

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
