The first car consumed 25 gallons of fuel while the second car consumed 30 gallons of fuel.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the first car consumption and y represent the second car consumption, hence:

x + y = 55   (1)

Also:

15x + 20y = 975   (2)

From both equations:

x = 25, y = 30

The first car consumed 25 gallons of fuel while the second car consumed 30 gallons of fuel.

Write an equation of the line with the given characteristics (show all work)
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

1. y = - 4 x + 5

2.  x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  (-1,9) (1,1)

y = mx + b

m = (y-y') / (x-x') = (1-9) / (1-(-1)) = -8 / 2 = - 4

b = y - mx = 9 - (-4) x (-1) = 5

equation: y = - 4 x + 5

check: (1,1)   y=1 = (-4) x 1 + 5 = 1

2. Vertical line through (-8,6) is a line perpendicular to x axis

    x = -8
