A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 40 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1625 miles, for a total gas consumption of 50 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of
the two cars that week?

first car = 35, second car= 15

Step-by-step explanation:

40x+15y=1625

x+y=50

multiplying the 2nd by -15 and add the 2 equations, we get x= 35 and by substituting on second equation we get y= 15

step-by-step explanation:

answer: -10

step-by-step explanation:

s(t) = 1 - 10t

s(x) = 1 - 10x

s(x + h) = 1 - 10(x + h)

            = 1 - 10x - 10h

s(x + h) - s(x) = 1 - 10x - 10h - (1 - 10x)

                      = 1 - 10x - 10h - 1 + 10x

                      = -10h

= -10
