Joe bought g gallons of gasoline for $2.85 per gallon and c cans of oil for $3.15 per can.

part a
what expression can be used to determine the total amount joe spent on gasoline and oil?

part b
if he bought 8.4 gallons of gasoline and 6 cans of oil, how much will he have spent in all?

Step-by-step explanation:

PART A

a=total amount

c=cans of oil

g=gasoline

a=2.85g+3.15c

PART B

a=2.85(8.4)+3.15(6)

a=23.94+18.90

a=42.84

a is the right answer

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
