First, list all the given information:
*100 miles/week
*25 miles/gallon
*$4/gallon
*weekly expenditure reduced by $5

The easiest approach to use here is the dimensional analysis. Cancel out like units if they appear both in the numerator and denominator side. Solve first the original cost. The solution is as follows:

100 miles/week * 1 gal/25 miles * $4/gal = $16/week

The reduced cost would be:
16 - 5 = (New average miles/week) * 1 gal/25 miles * $4/gal
New average miles/week = 68.75 miles/week

Answer:

68.75 miles/week

Step-by-step explanation:

Alan drives an average of 100 miles each week.

His car can travel an average of 25 miles per gallon of gasoline.

Gasoline consumption per week =\frac{100}{25}= 4 gallons

Cost of 1 gallon gasoline = $4

So., cost of 4 gallons gasoline = 4*4 = $16

Now, Alan would like to reduce his weekly expenditure on gasoline by $5.

The reduced cost would be:

16 - 5 = \text{(New average miles/week)} \times \frac{1 gal}{25 miles} \times $4/gal

\frac{11\times25}{4} = \text{(New average miles/week)}

68.75= \text{(New average miles/week)}

New average miles/week = 68.75 miles/week

When solving the linear equation, ax + b = 0 where a≠ 0, what is the answer of the equation x = -b/a referred as?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

In a system of equations ax + b = 0, a≠ 0, the equation x = -b/a is referred as a non-trivial solution.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

The system Ax + b = 0 has the following solutions:

  • The zeros, which is the trivial solution.
  • x = -b/a, which is the non-trivial solution.
