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.

The difference of two numbers is 15. The larger number is 1 more than 3 times the smaller number. What are the two numbers?
loris [4]

Answer:

<em>7, 22</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S = the smaller number.

"The larger number is 1 more than 3 times the smaller number."

The larger number is 3S + 1.

The difference between the numbers is 15, so the larger number minus the smaller number equals 15.

3S + 1 - S = 15

2S + 1 = 15

2S = 14

S = 7

The smaller number is 7.

larger number = 3S + 1 = 3(7) + 1 = 21 + 1 = 22

The larger number is 22.

Angel paints three rooms with two gallons of paint. How many rooms can he paint with fifteen gallons of paint?​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

22 rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

If two gallons of paint covers 3 rooms then you need to divide 15 gallons of paint by 2 gallons of paint = 7.5 gallons of paint. then you need to multiply 7.5 gallons of paint by 3 rooms = 22.5..... so that means you can paint 22 full rooms.
