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.

Your method is right so u already know how to do it
Answer:
They would never intersect because they are parallel lines. You can tell they are parallel lines because they have the same slope and they have a different y-intercept. However, this doesn't mean that there was no solutions, there were, thats how i was able to tell what their slopes and y-intercepts were. So if there is an answer that you can choose from that explains that they won't intersect because they are parallel then that is the correct answer. It may be C, but I would see if there is another option.
