Which expression is equivalent to the given expression after using the distributive property? 9(x+3)+15x

24x+27

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x+3)+15x

We will use the distributive property on the 9

9*x + 9*3 + 15x

9x + 27 + 15x

Combine like terms.

9x+15x + 27

24x + 27

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
