Answer:

a) No because the gallons and quarts of oil you and your friend bought is proportional.

b) Yes because the gallons and quarts of oil are no longer proportional.

c) 1 gallon of gasoline = $3.55

   1 quart of oil = $5.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g = cost per gallon of gasoline

Let q = cost per quart of oil

a)  Creating expressions from the given information:

10g + 2q = 45.50

5g + q = 22.75

From inspection, we can see that if we multiply the second equation by 2, it will give us the first equation.  Therefore, they are proportional and we cannot determine the variables.

b) Creating expressions from the given information:

10g + 2q = 45.50

5g + q = 22.75

8g + 2q = 38.40

From inspection, we can see that the third equation is not proportional to equations 1 and 2.  Therefore, we can use this equation with either of the other equations to determine the variables.

c)

Using equations 2 and 3 from the previous part (b):

5g + q = 22.75

8g + 2q = 38.40

Rewrite 5g + q = 22.75 to make q the subject:

⇒ q = 22.75 - 5g

Substitute into 8g + 2q = 38.40 and solve for g:

⇒ 8g + 2(22.75 - 5g) = 38.40

⇒ 8g + 45.5 - 10g = 38.40

⇒ 2g = 7.1

⇒ g = 3.55

Substitute found value for g into q = 22.75 - 5g and solve for q:

⇒ q = 22.75 - (5 x 3.55)

⇒ q = 5

BRAINIEST IF ANSWERED CORRECTLY

An example of something that doesn't have a solution is something like x+2 = x+3

If we subtract x from both sides, then we end up with 2 = 3, which is always false.

No matter what we plug in for x, the original equation will always be false. The right hand side is always 1 larger than the left side. So that's why we don't have any solutions here.

Side note: equations of this form are known as contradictions (or we could say the equation is inconsistent).

=====================================================

An example of something that has one solution is 3x+2 = 2x+7

Solving this equation leads us to...

3x+2 = 2x+7

3x-2x = 7-2

1x = 5

x = 5

To verify the solution, we plug it back into the original equation

3x+2 = 2x+7

3(5)+2 = 2(5)+7

15+2 = 10+7

17 = 17

We get the same thing on both sides, so we get a true statement. This confirms that x = 5 is the solution to 3x+2 = 2x+7.

=====================================================

An example of an equation with infinitely many solutions is 2x+4 = 2(x+2)

Notice how both sides are the same thing. The 2(x+2) distributes out to get 2x+4

Since we have the exact same identical expression on both sides, this ultimately means no matter what we plug in for x, we'll get a true statement. True statements (like the conclusion at the last section) are simply anything with the same number on both sides after simplifying everything.

Side note: equations of this form are known as identities
