Answer:

95 city and 175 highway miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The driver gets 20 mpg in city, and 28 mpg on the highway.

An equation that could be written is

20x+28y=270

This equation accounts for the distance traveled.

x+y=11

This equotion accounts for how many gallons were driven.

Multiply the bottom equation by 20, so you can solve the set of equations.

20x+28y=270

20x+20y=220

subtract them

8y=50

y=6.25

now plug this back into x+y=11

x+6.25=11

x=4.75

Now 4.75×20=95 city miles and 6.25×28=175 highway miles.

Identify any extraneous solution. See above pic
Sav [38]

Answer:

There are no extraneous solutions

Reasoning:

An extraneous solution is a solution that isn't valid, it might be imaginary like the square root of a negative number.

first we want to isolate z:

1+sqrt(z)=sqrt(z+5)

^2 all      ^2 all

(1+sqrt(z))(1+sqrt(z))=z+5

expand

1+2sqrt(z)+z=z+5

-1              -z  -z -1

2sqrt(z)=4

/2           /2

sqrt(z)=2

^2 all    ^2 all

z=4

Since there is one solution and it is a real number, there are no extraneous solutions.
