Answer:

(12,1.625)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given statement:

Cost of gas per gallon = $6

Cost of diesel per gallon = $8

Cost of x gallon gas  = 6x

Cost of y gallon diesel = 8y

You have at most $85 to spend on fuel

Therefore the equation we get is:

6x+8y≤85

You must purchase at least 12 gallons of gas for your car

x≥12

Plot the graph and you get possible solutions:

(12,1.625)..

amid [387]
You need two pieces and 1 has to be 2x longer than the other 
set x as the smaller piece (easier to always go with the smaller value as x)
the other piece is 2x (double in size)
your equations would be 3x=240>>> x= 60

so smaller piece/ x= 60
bigger piece/ 2x= 120
