Car A consumes 25 gallon and car B consumes 15 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The fuel efficiency of car A = 20 miles per gallon.

The fuel efficiency of car B = 15 miles per gallon.

In a week, two cars went 725 miles and consumed 40 gallons.

To find the consumption of each car in that week.

Let,

Car A consumed x gallon

Car B consumed y gallon.

According to the problem,

x+y = 40 ----- (1)

20x+15y = 725

or, 4x+3y = 145 -------- (2)

From (1) we get, x = 40-y

Putting the value of x in (2) we get,

4(40-y)+3y = 145

or, 160-4y+3y = 145

or, -y = 145-160

or, y = 15

From (1) we get, x = 40-15 = 25

Hence,

Car A consumes 25 gallon and car B consumes 15 gallon.

Select True or False for each statement.
mote1985 [20]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

For a real number a, a + 0 = a.  TRUE

For a real number a, a + (-a) = 1.  FALSE

For a real numbers a and b, | a - b | = | b - a |.  TRUE

For real numbers a, b, and c, a + (b ∙ c) = (a + b)(a + c).  FALSE

For rational numbers a and b when b ≠ 0, is always a rational number. TRUE

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

  • <u>For a real number a, a + 0 = a.  </u><u>TRUE</u>

This comes from the identity property for addition that tells us that<em> zero added to any number is the number itself. </em>So the number in this case is a, so it is true that:

a+0=a

  • For a real number a, a + (-a) = 1.  FALSE

This is false, because:

a+(-a)=a-a=0

For any number a there exists a number -a such that a+(-a)=0

  • For a real numbers a and b, | a - b | = | b - a |.  TRUE

This is a property of absolute value. The absolute value means remove the negative for the number, so it is true that:

\mid a-b \mid= \mid b-a \mid

  • For real numbers a, b, and c, a + (b ∙ c) = (a + b)(a + c).  FALSE

This is false. By using distributive property we get that:

(a + b)(a + c)=a^2+ac+ab+bc \\ \\ a^2+ab+ac+bc \neq a+(b.c)

  • For rational numbers a and b when b ≠ 0, is always a rational number. TRUE

A rational number is a number made by two integers and written in the form:

\frac{u}{v} \\ \\ v \neq 0

Given that a \ and \ b are rational, then the result of dividing them is also a rational number.
