A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 20 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

30 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1650 miles, for a total gas consumption of 65 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week? Firstcar:gallons= Secondcar:gallons=

Answer:

First car: 30 gallons

Second car: 35 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

Total gas consumption was 65:

x+y=65

Where:

x = gallons consumed by the first car

y = gallons consumed by the second car

The first car has a fuel efficiency of 20 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 30 miles per gallon of gas, the two cars went a combined total of 1650 miles:

x 20+y 30 = 1650

The system is:

x+y=65 (1)

x 20+y 30 = 1650 (2)

Isolating y on (1)

y = 65-x

Replacing y= 65-x on (2):

x 20+(65-x)30 = 1650

20x +1,950-30x= 1650

20x-30x= 1650-1950

-10x= -300

x= -300/-10

x = 30 gallons

Back to (1)

y =65-x

y =65-30

y= 35 gallons

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Alex Ar [27]
Answer:

7.5 quarts of olive oil remain.

Explanation:

Let

q = quarts of olive oil remain

<span>25%</span> of olive oil remains means that <span>75%</span> has been used.

22<span>12</span> quarts = 22.5 quarts used

<span><span>22.5.75</span>=<span>q.25</span></span>

Multiply both sides by .25 to isolate q.

<span><span>22.5.75</span><span>(.25)</span>=<span>q.25</span><span>(.25)</span></span>

<span><span>5.625.75</span>=q</span>

If the graph of a line  in an x y plane and its corresponding equation is given then , all the coordinates of every point on that line will satisfy the equation is a true statement.

<h3>What is the equation for a straight line ?</h3>

An equation of a straight line is given by

y = mx+c

where m is the slope and c is the intercept on y axis.

If the graph of a line  in an x y plane and its corresponding equation is given then , all the coordinates of every point on that line will satisfy the equation .

Even for a scatter plot the line of the best fit is drawn and every point on the line will satisfy the equation.

Answer:

  7×10⁻¹ +6×10⁻² +5×10⁻³

Step-by-step explanation:

Place value in any place-value number system increases by a factor of the base for each place to the left of the "decimal" point. It is reduced by a factor of the base for each place to the right of the "decimal" point.

For base-10 numbers, the powers of 10 are -1, -2, -3, ... as you go to the right of the decimal point. Hence the number 0.765 decomposes as ...

  7×10⁻¹ +6×10⁻² +5×10⁻³
