plz help meh
I shal help, what you do is add 1.60 until it reaches 32.00
Hudson, thanks
Let's solve this step-by-step:
Step 1: Write an algebraic equation that represents the scenario.
Let x be the number of gallons of gas Trevor bought.
Since the gas costs $1.60 per gallon, the equation becomes:
1.60x = 32
Step 2: Solve to find the solution.
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 1.60:
x = 32 / 1.60
x = 20
Therefore, Trevor bought 20 gallons of gas.
Sure, I can help you with that problem.
First, let's write an algebraic equation to represent the scenario.
Let "x" represent the number of gallons Trevor bought. We know that gas costs $1.60 per gallon. So the cost of the gas Trevor bought can be represented as 1.60x.
The problem also states that Trevor paid $32.00 to fill his tank. So we have:
1.60x = 32
To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
To do that, we can divide both sides of the equation by 1.60:
(1.60x) / 1.60 = 32 / 1.60
Simplifying, we get:
x = 20
So Trevor bought 20 gallons of gas.
Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions.
