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.

A jug contains 6 qt of killa kola. kyle drank 3/10 of the jug. how much did he drink
jekas [21]

Answer:

Kyle drank 1.8 quarts of the jug.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantity that Kyle drank from the jug is to equivalent to the product of the volume of the jug and portion that Kyle used. That is:

V_{dr} = \frac{3}{10}\cdot V_{jug}

Where:

V_{dr} - Volume that Kyle drank, measured in quarts.

V_{jug} - Volume of the jug, measured in quarts.

If V_{max} = 6\,qt, the volume drank by Kyle is:

V_{dr} = \frac{3}{10}\cdot (6\,qt)

V_{dr} = 1.8\,qt

Kyle drank 1.8 quarts of the jug.

Change to decimals.<br> 1. 75%
ANEK [815]

Answer: 0.75

Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a decimal, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

So we can think of 75% as the ratio 75 to 100 or 75 ÷ 100.

Dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places to the left so 75 ÷ 100 will move the decimal point two places to the left which would give us .75 or 0<em>.</em>75.

This means that 75% can be written as the decimal 0<em>.</em>75.

Which algebraic properties was applied to the expression a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

the Associative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the ORDER doesn't change -- a, b, c on both sides.  But the GROUPING changes.

Example:

3 + (4 + 5) = (3 + 4) + 5

3 + 9 = 7 + 5

12 = 12

Subtraction does NOT behave this way!

8 - (7 - 1) = 8 - 6 = 2

(8 - 7) - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0

It matters who you associate with!  :-)
