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.
1. D 12 2/7
2. 22 7/9 which is B hope this helps
Answer:
x=25
Step-by-step explanation:
x+5+6x=180
7x+5=180
7x=175
x=25
Answer:
X=24
Step-by-step explanation:
1. (4x + 11) + (3x + 1) = 180 (Combine like terms)
2. 7x + 12 = 180 (Subtract 12 from both sides)
3. 7x = 168 (Divide both sides by 7)
4. x = 24
Answer:
The y-intercept of the line would be (C) 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line with the equation y = -3x - 5 is -3. When figuring out a slope perpendicular to another line you would use the negative reciprocal of the slope which would lead to the slope of the line to be 1/3.
We know it passes through the point (-3,7), substituting x and y, we would then get our new equation,
.
Solve the equation by multiplying -3 with 1/3 and the product would be -1. Add negative one on both sides and you would get 8 = b.
