Let the number of gallons consumed be the first car be x, and that of the second car, y. Then:
x + y = 50 . . . . . . . (1)
20x + 15y = 850. . . (2)
(1) x 20 => 20x + 20y = 1000 . . . (3)
(2) - (3) => -5y = -150 => y = -150/-5 = 30
From (1), x + 30 = 50 => x = 50 - 30 = 20
Therefore, first car consumed 20 gallons and the second consumed 30 gallons.
<u>Given</u>:
Juan has been saving for a new bike for two months. So far, he has saved $150 for the bike.
The money that he has saved so far is 30% of the cost of the bike.
We need to determine the total cost of the bike.
<u>Total cost of the bike:</u>
Let x denote the total cost of the bike.
The total cost of the bike is given by

The value of 30% can be written as 
Thus, we get;

Multiplying both sides by
, we have;

Simplifying, we have;


Thus, the value of x is 500.
Hence, the total cost of the bike is $500.
Answer:
3( 3+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
9 +15
Rewriting 9 as 3*3 and 15 * 3*5
3*3 + 3*5
Factor out 3
3( 3+5)
Non linear I just put it into Socratic. Because linear functions make straight lines on a graph. This makes a curve, so it is non linear
