Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
mid point of AC=((2m+2p)/2,(2n+2r)/2)=(m+p,n+r)
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.

Answer:
The answer is x = 3 and y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
If you were to graph the two lines, their equations would be y = x - 4 and y = -x + 2. The two lines intersect at the point (3, -1), so the solution to the system is x = 3 and y = -1.
