FOR RIGHT ANSWER AND STEP BY STEP LOTS OF POINTS BTW A car’s fuel economy E(miles per gallon) is given by the formula E=mg, where m is the number of miles driven and g is the number of gallons of fuel used.
Solve the formula for m.
If Sally’s car has an average fuel consumption of 30 miles per gallon and she used 9.5 gallons, how far did she drive?

Let's solve your equation step-by-step

2.4(x-6)=-5.6x+8

Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation

2.4(x-6)=-5.6x+8

(2.4)(x)+(2.4)(-6)=-5.6x+8 (distribute)

2.4x+-14.4=-5.6x+8

2.4x-14.4=5.6x+8

Step 2: Add 5.6x to both sides.

2.4x-14.4+5.6x=-5.6x+8+5.6x

8x-14.4=8

Step 3:Add 14.4 to both sides

8x-14.4+14.4=8+14.4

8x=22.4

Step 4 : Divide both sides by 8

8x/8 =22.4/8

Answer : x=2.8
