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

25 miles per gallon of gas. during one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 775 miles, for a total gas consumption of 35 gallons. how many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?

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.

2(n+7)=14+2n and 1-x=7x-(8x-6)
myrzilka [38]
2n+14=14+2n so this one as an infinite number of solutions. The second one 1-x=-x-6 so you add x on both sides which results in it having no solutions.

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to -x+3y=6 and passes through the point (3,5)?
Elena-2011 [213]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

We have the following line:

-x + 3y = 6\\3y = x + 6\\y = \frac {1} {3} x + \frac {6} {3}\\y = \frac {1} {3} x + 2

Thus, the slope is:m_ {1} = \frac {1} {3}

Then m_ {2} = \frac {1} {3}

So, the line is of the form:

y = \frac {1} {3} x + b

We substitute the point(x, y) :( 3,5)and find b:

5 = \frac {1} {3} (3) + b\\5 = b

Thus, the equation is:

y = \frac {1} {3} x + 5

Answer:

y = \frac {1} {3} x + 5
