Make m the subject in a(c+m)=2(c+3m)

m =

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute parenthesis on both sides

ac + am = 2c + 6m ( collect terms in m on left side )

subtract 6m from both sides

ac + am - 6m = 2c ( subtract ac from both sides )

am - 6m = 2c - ac ( factor left side )

m(a - 6) = 2c - ac ( divide both sides by (a - 6))

m =

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
