A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficuency of 15 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

x= 35 gallons consumed by 1st car

and y= 40 gallons consumed by 2nd car

Step-by-step explanation:

Fuel efficiency of 1st car = 15 miles per gallon

Fuel efficiency of 2nd car = 35 miles per gallon

Let x= gallons consumed by 1st car

and y= gallons consumed by 2nd car

Total gallons consumed by both cars = 75

so, we can write

x + y = 75

Miles covered by both cars = 1925 miles

and we know, Fuel efficiency of 1st car = 15 miles per gallon

Fuel efficiency of 2nd car = 35 miles per gallon

we can write the equation as

15 x + 35 y = 1925

where x and y are gallons consumed by 1st and 2nd car.

We have two equation now,

x + y = 75 (1)

15 x + 35 y = 1925 (2)

Multiplying eq(1) with 15 and subtracting eq (1) and 2

15 x + 15 y = 1125

15 x + 35 y = 1925

- - -

_______________

0 - 20 y = -800

y= -800 / -20

y = 40

Putting value of y in equation 1

x + y = 75

x + 40 = 75

x= 75 - 40

x = 35

x= 35 gallons consumed by 1st car

and y= 40 gallons consumed by 2nd car

Selena buys 4 peaches that weigh 1 pound in all. Each peach weigh the same amount. Peaches are on sale for $2.24 per pound. Writ

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The required equation is

4p = 2.24

And p = 0.56 [ where p is in $]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Selena buys 4 peaches that weight 1 pound in all.

Peaches are on sale for $2.24 per pound.

Since the total weight of peaches is 1 pound.

So the price of 4 peaches is $2.24.

Let p be the price of 1 peaches.

Then the price of 4 peaches is $(4×p)

= $4p

According to the problem,

4p = 2.24

$\Rightarrow p=\frac{2.24}{4}$

⇒p=0.56 [ where p is in $]

The required equation is

4p = 2.24

And p = 0.56 [ where p is in $]
