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.
