Amy's car holds at most 19 gallons of gas. Now it has 9 gallons. Use pencil and paper. Explain how to find the amount of gas she needs, in liters, to fill the gas tank.

10 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy's car's maximum capacity to hold gas = 19 gallons

present amount of gas  = 9 gallons

As the car's capacity is 19 gallons and present amount in tank is 9 gallons, so we can fill it as much as so that the amount in tank becomes 19 gallons.

let assume she fills x gallons

then x gallons and 9 gallons present earlier should be equal to 19 gallon, as the tank can not hold more than that.

lets write it mathematically

x + 9 = 19

subtracting 9 from both side

x + 9 - 9 = 19 - 9

=> x = 10

Thus, 10 gallons of gas is needed to fill the gas tank.

i think the length is 12 and the width is 17

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

step-by-step explanation:

as we move out we move away from the x-axis.

and as mentioned in the problem statement that height of a road increases when we move away from the center x.

hence proved that 3rd option

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

is the correct option.
