Gas prices have increased steadily from $2.35 per gallon to $3.95 per gallon in 8 months. What is the rate of change in gasoline prices per month?

The rate of change in gasoline is 0.2$ per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Gas prices have increased steadily from $2.35 per gallon to $3.95 per gallon in 8 months.

Increase 'steadily' means the rate of change is the same throughout the 8 months.

let x represents the time in months, and y represents the gas price

so

at x₁ = 0, y₁ = 2.35

at x₂ = 8, y₂ = 3.95

Let us find the slope or rate of change using the formula

Rate of change = slope = m = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

                                              = [3.95 - 2.35] / [8 - 0]

                                               = 1.6 / 8

                                               = 0.2 $ per month

Therefore, the rate of change in gasoline is 0.2$ per month.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
