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:
1st option: 55 + 19.50m = 250

Answer:
7q + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
6q + 1 + q + 11
add like terms. add 6q and q together and then add 1 and 11 together
6q + q + 1 + 11
7q + 12
7q + 12 is your answer. i hope this helps :)
It is true because
when you separate 2y^2 +9y -18, you are supposed to get the factors
(2y-3)(y+6), when you multiply this it gives you the first equation, we know
this because when we multiply the first term it gives us exactly 2y^2 and if we
multiply the last ones it gives you -18, now here is the tricky part, when we
multiply the middle part we get 12y and -3y, when we add these up we get 9y,
now is that the same middle as in the equation? Yes… then our factors are correct
making this true
Hope this helps
