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.

What is 5/7 minus 1/2 equal to in like units
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

5/7 minus 1/2 is 5/7 - 1/2

5/7 and 1/2 are both called proper fractions. 5 and 1 in each fraction are called the numerator while 7 and 2 are called denominators

5/7 - 1/2

Step one

Find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of each fractions

Multiples of 7

7 x 1 = 7

7 x 2 = 14

7 x 3 = 21

Multiples of 2

2 x 1 = 2

2 x 2 = 4

2 x 3 = 6

2 x 4 = 8

2 x 5 = 10

2 x 6 = 12

2 x 7 = 14

The lowest common multiple of 2 and 7 is 14

Step 2

The LCM of 2 and 7 becomes the common denominator for both fractions.

14/7 = 2

14/2 = 7

5/7 - 1/2 = [2(5) - 7(1)]/14 = (10 - 7)/14

= 3/14

8z=4(2z+1) show step by step
Verizon [17]
8z=4(2z+1)
First you would distribute the constant into the numbers in the parentheses. so
8z=8z+4
then you would combine like terms which in this case would result in a zero.
8z-8z=0 So the z would be zero or no solution.
