A car used 16 gallons of gasoline and traveled a total distance of 460 miles. The car's fuel efficiency is 30 miles per gallon on the highway and 25 miles per gallon in the city. How many gallons of gasoline were used on the highway.

12 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Total gallons = 16 gallons

Total distance = 460 miles

Fuel efficiency in the highway = 30 miles per gallon

Fuel efficiency in the city = 25 miles per gallon

Let

h = gallons of gasoline were used on the highway.

460 = 30h + 25(16 - h)

460 = 30h + 400 - 25h

460 - 400 = 30h - 25h

60 = 5h

h = 60/5

h = 12 gallons

12 gallons of gasoline were used on the highway.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
