Question 127468: Using systems of equations(addition/elimination or substitution) solve this problem.
A Honda Accord gets approximately 26 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg in the city. Bill drove 349.5 miles on a full tank (16 gallons) of gasoline. Using a two equation system of equations, determine approximately how many miles were driven in the city and on the highway.
I tried dividing 349.5 by 16 gallons to get mileage and using the following equations. 26H + 19C = 21.84 and H + C = 349.50 Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = highway miles driven
Let = city miles driven
Use (miles driven) / (miles/gallon) = gallons used
(gallons used on hwy) + (gallons used in city) = total gallons used
multiply both sides by
169 miles were driven on the highway and 180.5 miles were
driven in the city
check:
OK
