85 comes immediately before
Let x and y represent the numbers of gallons used by the 40 mpg and 35 mpg cars, respectively.
.. x +y = 40 . . . . . . . . . . .total consumption is 40 gallons
.. 40x +35y = 1525 . . . . total miles driven = 1525
Multiply the first equation by 40 and subtract the second.
.. 40(x +y) -(40x +35y) = 40(40) -(1525)
.. 5y = 75
.. y = 15
.. x = 40 -15 = 25
The 40 mpg car consumed 25 gallons.
The 35 mpg car consumed 15 gallons.
Can you make the a bit more clear
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
since c is the centroid, therefore PX=XQ=1/2 x PQ
∴ PX=15
