Let x and y represent the numbers of gallons used by the 40 mpg and 35 mpg cars, respectively.
.. x +y = 40 . . . . . . . . . . .total consumption is 40 gallons
.. 40x +35y = 1525 . . . . total miles driven = 1525

Multiply the first equation by 40 and subtract the second.
.. 40(x +y) -(40x +35y) = 40(40) -(1525)
.. 5y = 75
.. y = 15
.. x = 40 -15 = 25

The 40 mpg car consumed 25 gallons.
The 35 mpg car consumed 15 gallons.

Klio2033 [76]

Using the mean concept, the average collection for a student in this school was of $16.13.

<h3>What is the mean?</h3>

The mean of a data-set is given by the <u>sum of all observations in the data-set divided by the number of observations</u>.

The number of students is given as follows:

82 + 74 + 96 + 99 = 351.

The sum is:

82 x 26.75 + 74 x 12.25 + 96 x 15.50 + 99 x 10.85 = $5662.15

Hence the mean is:

M = $5662.15/351 = $16.13.

A staff gauge measures the height of the water level in a river compared to the average water level. At one gauge the river is 1
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The river will not reach a level of 7 ft. after 5 hours.

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

Let y represent the height of the water level after x hours.

Since the  river is 1 ft below its average water level and  begins to rise by a constant rate of 1.5 ft per hour. Hence:

b = -1, m = 1.5. The equation becomes:

y = 1.5x - 1

To reach a level of 7 ft. That is y = 7:

7 = 1.5x - 1

1.5x = 8

x = 5.3 hours

The river will not reach a level of 7 ft. after 5 hours.
