I am going to say that:

x is how much he earns for a load of laundry.

y is how much he earns for a load of dishes.

Last week, he did 1 load of laundry and 3 loads of dishes, and his parents paid him $10.

The week before, he finished 1 load of laundry and 7 loads of dishes, earning a total of $18.

This means that

Since

He earns $4 for a load of laundry and $2 for a load of dishes.

answer: need picture of problem

step-by-step explanation:

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
