Respuesta :
The required equation is (4/25)M = 5.
What is an equation?
- An equation is a formula in mathematics that expresses the equality of two expressions by connecting them with the equals sign =.
- A mathematical statement made up of two expressions joined by an equal sign is known as an equation.
- 3x - 5 = 16 is an example of an equation.
- We get the value of the variable x as x = 7 after solving this equation.
To find the required equation:
Given -
Alan wants to reduce his weekly expenditure by $5.
His car can travel an average of 25 miles per gallon which can be written as:
- 1 gallon/25 miles
The cost of gasoline is $4 per gallon which can be written as:
- 4 dollars/gallon
Alan wants to reduce his weekly expenditure by $5.
Where 'M' is how many fewer average miles.
- M miles (1 gallon/25 miles) (4 dollars/gallon) = $5
- (4/25)M = 5
Therefore, the required equation is (4/25)M = 5.
