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.

which means y=x+2

so we have x=2 ,y=x+2=2+2=4.

so when x=2 ,y=4.

x=4,y=x+4=4+2=6..

y=x+2,y=6+2=8.
