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.

"Rebecca walks 100 feet in a straight line. She then turns 20 degrees to her left and walks another 100 feet, and then turns 20
iragen [17]

Answer:

1,800 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Rebecca will walk in the pattern of a regular polygon with 'n' sides and internal angles of 160 degrees (180 at a straight line - 20 degrees from each turn).

The equation that describes the internal angle of a regular polygon is:

A = \frac{(n-2)*180}{n}

For A = 160 degrees:

160n=(n-2)*180\\(180-160)n=360\\n=18\ sides

If each side is 100 ft long, the total distance that Rebecca has walked is:

d = 18*100\\d=1,800\ ft

She walked 1,800 ft.
