30x+40(50-x)=1800
Solve for x
X=20 for the first car

50-20=30 for the second car

One car 40 miles /gallon
other car 30 miles/gallon
..
Total miles = 165
gas used = 45 gallons
...
let first car drive x miles
second car drive y miles
..
x/40 + y/30 = 45
(30x+40y)/30*40 = 45
30x+40y = 45*40*30
30x+40y=54,000

How is a topic different from a theme?
jek_recluse [69]
Hi!

A topic is just a general thing you discuss, with no true moral ending you take away from it. A theme, on the other hand, wants to communicate a life lesson.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

What is:<br> 1/4 (q-12) + 1/4 (q-4)<br> simplified??
Alexandra [31]

Answer: -b - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, since the a cancel eachother out we are left with (4-b) + (-6-7)

Second, you want to add the -6 and -7 to get -13, so (4-b) - 13

Finally, add the 4 to the negative 13 to get (-b - 9)

Hope this helps.
