    A) Equation that represents the situation : 7x+2x=4500

    B) Regular gas sold = 7x = 7 (500) = 3500

    Premium gas sold = 2x = 2 (500) = 1000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given that The ratio of gallons of regular gas sold to gallons of premium gas sold is 7:2.

    Let the ratio be x

    Regular gas sold = 7x

    Premium gas sold = 2x

    We are also given that A gas station sells a total of 4500 gallons of regular and premium gas in one day.

    So, 7x+2x=4500

    9x=4500

    x=500

    A) Equation that represents the situation : 7x+2x=4500

    B) Regular gas sold = 7x = 7 (500) = 3500

    Premium gas sold = 2x = 2 (500) = 1000
