Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = gallons consumed by car 1

Let y = gallons consumed by car 2

We set up our equations:

35x+40y = 1850 eq1

x+y = 50 eq2

Substituting eq 2 into eq 1,

35x+40(50-x) = 1850

35x+2000-40x = 1850

-5x+2000 = 1850

-5x = -150

x = 30

Substitute value of x into eq 2.

x+y = 50

30+y = 50

y = 20

Car 1 consumes 30 gallons of gas.

Car 2 consumes 20 gallons of gas.

Change 5x - y = 3 into slope-intercept form.<br> © by – 5x+3
agasfer [191]

The slope intercept form is y=5x-3

Explanation:

The equation is $5 x-y=3$

Now, we shall bring the equation $5 x-y=3$ in the slope intercept form.

The general form of the slope intercept is given by

y=mx+c

Hence, we need to rewrite the given equation in this form.

Thus, we have,

$5 x-y=3$

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 5x, we get,

-y=-5x+3

Multiplying both sides of the equation by (-), we get,

y=5x-3

Thus, the slope intercept form of the given equation is y=5x-3

What is the square root of 5√2+√18
givi [52]
The square root of 5/2 is 2.236067978. The square root of 18 is 4.242640687. The total of 2.236067978 plus 4.242640687= 6.478708667.
If you rounded up to two decimal points. You will get 6.48. It depends what digit your question is telling you to round up to. 
Hope it helps.

Solve this system of equations.<br>y=2x-5<br>y=-2x+3​
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

x = 2

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x - 5

y = -2x + 3

2x - 5 = -2x + 3

     4x = 8

       x = 2

y = 2(2) - 5

y = -1
