Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to solve

5 made        x made

------------   = -----------

3 missed      36 missed

Using cross products

5 * 36 = 3x

Divide each side by 3

5 * 36/3 = 3x/3

50 = x

She made 60

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of
cestrela7 [59]

The amount of gas consumed by first and second car were 20 gallons and 15 gallons respectively.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Suppose,  x gallons of gas were consumed by the first car.

As the total gas consumption in one week is 35 gallons, so the amount of gas consumed by second car will be:  (35-x) gallons.

The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas.

So, the <u>distance traveled by the first car</u> in x gallons of gas =35x miles and the <u>distance traveled by the second car</u> in (35-x) gallons of gas =15(35-x) miles.

Given that, the two cars went a <u>combined total of 925 miles</u>. So, the equation will be.....

35x+15(35-x)=925\\ \\ 35x+525-15x=925\\ \\ 20x=925-525=400\\ \\ x=\frac{400}{20}=20

So, the amount of gas consumed by the first car is 20 gallons and the amount of gas consumed by the second car is: (35 - 20) = 15 gallons.

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

First degree equation. The variables are in the 1st member and the numbers in the 2nd member.

X + 6 - 2X = X - 24

X - 2X - X = - 24 - 6

- 2X = - 30

<h2>X = 15</h2>
