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: -7 = e
Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for <em>e</em>, we need to get <em>e</em> by itself on the right side of the equation. Since <em>e</em> is multiplied by 16, in order to get <em>e</em> by itself, we need to divide by 16 on the right side of the equation. If we divide by 16 on the right side of the equation, we must also divide by 16 on the left side of the equation.
On the right side of the equation the 16's cancel and we have <em>e</em>. On the right side of the equation -112 divided by 16 is -7. Remember that a negative divided by a positive is a negative.
So we have -7 = e which is the solution to our equation.
To check our solution, we can plug -7 in for <em>e</em> in the original equation. So we have -112 = 16 (-7) or -112 = -112 which is a true statement so our answer checks.
