3 (3 + x) = 5x - 25
9 + 3x = 5x - 25
Add 25 to each side
34 + 3x = 5x
Subtract 3x from each side
34 = 2x
Divide each side by 2
17 = x
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.

Answer: Fish A: 9 inches ; Fish B: 6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be turned into a systems of equation, where x equals the length of fish A and y equals the length of fish B:
3x + 2y = 39 → -3x - 2y = -39
3x + 4y = 51 → 3x +4y = 51
Combine: 0 + 2y = 12 → y = 6 inches.
Plug back in: 3x + 2(6) = 39 → 3x = 27 → x = 9 inches.
