Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1990, the number of gallons of whole milk each person in the United States drinks has decreased 4.5% each year. In 1990, each person drank an average of 16 gallons of milk each year. Therefore, the approximate milk consumption of the average person in 2000 is 11.2 gallons.

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
