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.

Which polynomial lists the powers in descending order? A. –10 + 4x3 – 4x5 + 2x4 + x7 B. x7 – 4x5 + 2x4 + 4x3 – 10 C. x7 + 4x3 +

Artist 52 [7]

The answer for the exercise shown above is the option B, which is: $x^{7} -4 x^{5} +2 x^{4} +4 x^{3}- 10$
The explanation is shown below:
To list the powers of the polynomial given in the problem above in descending order, you must write the terms from the highest degree to the lowest degree. You have that the highest degree is $7
$ and the lowest degree is $0
$ (Because $-10 x^{0} =-10(1)=-10$ . Therefore, you have that the correct option is the option B.
