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.
The first triangle does. That's the right answer.
Let b>a,
a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b
We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:
b-(40-b)=6.5
b-40+b=6.5
2b-40=6.5
2b=46.5
b=23.25, and since a=40-b
a=40-23.25
a=16.75
So a=16.75 and b=23.25
check...
16.75+23.25=40, 40=40
23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5
Instead of using PEMDAS or the Order of Operations, the student went ahead and solved the equation as though it were written 6 * 12 - 8.
The correct way to solve would be to first solve the parentheses. 12 - 8 is equal to 4. 4 times 6 is 24, giving us an answer of 24.
