Answer 2

Please help!!!! :(

Answer 3

I'm giving a medal too!

Answer 4

he drives, gas lost, which came first?

Answer 5

I mean, what is the cause, what is the effect?

Answer 6

He drives and he loses gass?

Answer 7

One more try:
Because he drives, the gas is lost.
or Because the gas lost, he moves ??? sounds weird, right?

Answer 8

Yes. Lol

Answer 9

I just don't know what the variables should be..

Answer 10

he moves 25 miles and uses 3galons of gas
so gas is variable.

Answer 11

Ok

Answer 12

however, the gas in the problem is the gas in the tank, and it is inverse variable,

Answer 13

if they ask you the gas he uses, not the gas in the tank, in that case miles increases, the amount of gas he uses increases too, right?

Answer 14

Right.

Answer 15

so, in your problem, let S is the mile he moves, x is the amount of gas in the tank, you have equation S = \(\dfrac{something}{x}\)
I let "something" because it is un given information,

Answer 16

Okay! Now I get it! Thanks! :)
