Patrick has a gas-powered boat that averages 5 miles per gallon of gasoline, and the tank holds 4 gallons. At 2 p. m., he left the dock. At 3 p. m., he was 6 miles west and 8 miles south of the dock. If he continues at this rate, in how many more hours will the tank be out of gasoline? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that Patrick is travelling on a straight line throughout the whole path in order to minimize the distance.

The number of miles that he can travel on a full tank is:

The distance travelled by Patrick in one hour (from 2p.m. to 3p.m.) is:

If he is travelling at 10 miles per hour, and he could travel for a total of 20 miles, then the time remaining before the tank runs out of gasoline is:

If he continues at this rate, the gas will last for 1 more hour.

594 square inches

fa tha first one you gonna add y to both sides

it look like this

x-y+y=6+y

x=y+6

therefore your answer is

x =y+6

fa tha second one

you gonna flip tha equation

it gonna look like x-4y=y

then add 4 to both sides

it gonna look like tha

x-4 +4 =y +4

so therefore tha answer is x=y+4
