A group of friends will go on a weekend camping trip and split the cost of gas equally. The cost that each person will pay for gas is inversely proportional to the
number of people who go on the trip. If four friends go on the trip, each person pays
$23 for gas. Write an equation that describes the relationship between cost (c) that
each person pays for gas, and the number of people on the trip (n).
C = 92/n
C= n/0.17
C = 5.75n
C = 5.75/n

9514 1404 393

  (a)  C = 92/n

Step-by-step explanation:

The "inversely proportional" relation is represented by the equation ...

  C = k/n

The value of k can be found from the given values of C and n.

  23 = k/4

  23×4 = k = 92

Then the relationship is ...

  C = 92/n

step-by-step explanation:

a

(6r + 7) + (13 + 7r) ( remove brackets and collect like terms )

= 6r + 7 + 13 + 7r

= 13r + 20

b

remove brackets and collect like terms

13 - r - 1 + r

= 12 - r

c

remove brackets and collect like terms

= - 8 - r + 2r - 4

= - 12 + r

d

remove brackets and collect like terms

= 7r - - - 6r

[-   - = - - = - ]

= r -
