Will reward a family has two cars. the first car has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 25 miles per gallon of gas. during one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 825 miles, for a total gas consumption of 45 gallons. how many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?

We set up our equations:

35x+40y = 1850        eq1

x+y = 50                   eq2

Substituting eq 2 into eq 1,

35x+40(50-x) = 1850

35x+2000-40x = 1850

-5x+2000 = 1850

-5x = -150

  x = 30

Substitute value of x into eq 2.

x+y = 50

30+y = 50

     y = 20

Car 1 consumes 30 gallons of gas.

Car 2 consumes 20 gallons of gas.

hope this helps
