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.

Here we have a case of the least common multipl(lcm) of 6 and 20.
Prime numbers 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19... (natural numbers greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself) .
lcm(6,20)= 6 20 | 2
                  3 10 | 3
                  1 10 | 2
                       5 | 5
                       1
2*3*2*5=60 The first one to get both calendar and the animal toy will be 60th.
 
Explenation: First we look for the smallest prime number with wich 6 and 20 can be devided by. That is 2. Next is 3. Since 10 is not divisible by 3, we only copy it. Under the 6 we got 1, wich is our goal. Now we continue to devide 10 by prime numbers till we also get 1. We now multiple all divisors and we get the least common multiple.

What is the orthocenter of the triangle with two altitudes given by the lines x=-1 and y=x+1
timama [110]
The answer to the problem is as follows:

<span>The orthocenter is where the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent (where they intersect each other). On your graph, that would be (-1,0)

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!</span>
