a) 
The average speed is equal to the ratio between the total distance (
and the total time taken (
):

the distance travelled by the trucker in the first 3 hour can be written as the time multiplied by the velocity:

So the total distance is

The total time is equal to the first 3 hours + the time taken to cover the following 20 miles in the city:

So, the equation can be rewritten as:

b) 0.50 h (half a hour)
Since we know the value of the average speed,
, we can substitute it into the previous equation to find the value of
, the time the trucker drove in the city:

It’s reflected across the origin. Or to the right across the y axis. Then down across the x axis
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
(11)²=(6)²+ (y)²
121=36 +(y)²
y² =121 –36
y²=85

18 / 1 = x / 15......18 miles to 1 gallon = x miles to 15 gallon
cross multiply
(1)(x) = (18)(15)
x = 270 miles
