Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step: Solve 2x + 8y = 6 for x:

2x + 8y = 6

2x + 8y + −8y =6 + −8y (Add -8y to both sides)

2x = −8y + 6

2x/2 = (-8y + 6)/2 (Divide both sides by 2)

x = −4y + 3

Step: Substitute −4y + 3 for x in −5x − 20y = −15:

−5x − 20y = −15

−5 (−4y + 3 ) −20y = −15

−15 = −15 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

−15 + 15 = −15 + 15 (Add 15 to both sides)

0 = 0

If there are approximately 1.8 million cars in Vancouver and if each car travels an average of 17,500 kilometres in a year, how

Rates are used to measure a quantity over another.

The 1.8 million cars use $1.85 \times 10^{10}$ liters each year

Given

$Cars = 1.8\ million$

$d = 17500km$ --- distance

$r = 40miles/gallon$

First, we calculate the number (n) of gallons used by each car

$r = \frac{d}{n}$

Solve for n

$n = \frac{d}{r}$

So, we have:

$n = \frac{17500km}{40miles/gallon}$

$n = \frac{17500km}{40miles}gallon$

Convert miles to kilometers

$n = \frac{17500km}{40km \times 1.60934}gallon$

$n = \frac{17500km}{64.3738km}gallon$

$n = 271.85\ gallon$

The number of gallons (N), used by all the cars is:

$N = n \times cars$

$N = 271.85 \times 1.8\ million$

$N = 489330000$

Convert to liters

$N = 489330000 \times 3.78541L$

$N = 1852314675.3L$

In scientific notation to 2 decimal places, we have:

$N = 1.85 \times 10^{10}L$

Hence, the number of liters used is $1.85 \times 10^{10}$
