Let's call the fuel consumption of the first car "x" and the second car "y"
x + y = 35 is the total fuel consumed.
20x + 25y = 775 is the distance traveled.
Solve the two equations. Skipping a few steps, I get 
5y = 75. Therefore y = 15. So y used 15 gallons of gas. Therefore x used 20 gallons.

20 gallons, 15 gallons.

A family is having a pool built in their backyard. Their yard is rectangular and measures 14x by 19x and the pool is circular wi
valentina_108 [34]
You want to find the area left over after the pool is built, so subtract the area of the pool from the area of the yard.

Area of Yard= Base x Height = 14x*19x = 266x^2
Area of Circle= Pi x Radius^2 = (6x)^2*pi = 36x^2*pi

Now subtract the two areas:
266x^2-(36^2*pi)
266x^2-36x^2*pi

Take 2x^2 as a common factor:
2x^2(133-18pi)

D: <span>2x^2(133-18pi)

Hope this helps :)</span>
