Solution:
The first car can travel 75 miles on 5 gallons of gas.
So per mile gas consumed by car
gallon
The second car can travel 240 miles on 20 gallons of gas.
So per mile gas consumed by car
gallon
It mean Sam should rent the First car.
Sam is renting one of two cars to go on a 300-mile trip.
So total number of gallons of gas required
Total cost of 20 gallons of gas
dollar
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
slope = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
9x - 3y = - 54 ( subtract 9x from both sides )
- 3y = - 9x - 54 ( divide all terms by 0 3 )
y = 3x + 18 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
slope of parallel line is 3
Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>
x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

<em>Additional comment</em>
There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
