A car travels 18 miles on a gallon of gas. The car used 65 gallons of gas last week. compute the number of miles the car traveled?

 1170 miles

Work Shown:

(18 miles)/(1 gallon) = (x miles)/(65 gallons)

18/1 = x/65

x/65 = 18

x = 65*18

x = 1170

1170 miles

1 gallon of gas --> 18 miles

65 gallon of gas --> 18 * 65 (which is 1170 miles)

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
