Answer:
X= 1/2 Y= 5
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+7y=39-------------(1)--------×2
4x-14y= -68-----------(2)-------×1
16X + 14Y = 78--------(3)
4X- 14Y = -68----------(4)
Addy equation (4) and (3)
20X = 10
dividing bothsides by 20
20X/20= 10/20
X = 1/2
substitute the value of X into equation (1)
8X+7Y = 39
8(1/2)+7Y= 39
4+7Y = 39
7Y = 39-4
7Y = 35
dividing bothsides 7
7Y= 35/7
Y = 5
5280 feet in a mile
3.25 x 5280 = 17160 feet
Answer:
Maybe 3 1/2 but they don't give enough information

From the information we have, Jack drove 401/2 miles and used a total of 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline.
We need to find out how many miles he travelled per each gallon.
40 1/2 miles can be written as 40.5 miles
1 1/4 gallons can be written as 1.25 gallons.
So now we form an equation.
40.5 = 1.25
x = 1
Where x is the number of miles per gallon
We cross multiply the equation
40.5 * 1 = 1.25 * x
40.5 = 1.25x
40.5 / 1.25 = x
32.4 = x
x = 32 .4
So the unit rate for miles per gallons is 32.4 miles per gallon
