Jon’s car gets 35.5 miles per gallon in town he used 0.3 gallon to drive to a meeting in town how many miles did John drive

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as a ratio, since it's easiest to solve it this way.  Put your miles on the top of the ratio and gallons on the bottom:

This ratio says that Jon gets 35.5 miles per 1 gallon of gas.  We can use that ratio now, along with another, to solve for the number of miles he drove if he used .3 gallons of gas:

Cross multiply to solve:

1x = 35.5(.3) so

x = 10.65 miles

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
