Question

A car travels 17 miles on one gallon of gas.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y$ ranges from 2890 miles to 5780 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call $y$ the number of miles the car travels, and $x$ the number of gallons of gas that are used, then we have the relationship

$y=17x$ (this says the car travels 17 miles for each gallon of gas).

Now, when $x=170$, we have

$y=17(170)$

$y=2890\: miles$

and when $x=340$, we have

$y=17(340)$

$y=5780\:miles$

So, when $x$ goes from 170 to 340, $y$ goes from $2890$ to $5780$.

Therefore, when $x$ ranges from 170  to 340 gallons, the distance traveled ranges from 2890 to 5780 miles.
