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 15 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1825 miles, for a total gas consumption of 75 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?

1) 35 gallons by the first car 2) 40 gallons by the second car

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the first car used x gallons, when the second car used the rest- 75-x

If the first car's efficiency is 35 miles per galon, its milleage is 35*x, the second car's milleage is 15*(75-x). And the summary milleage is equal to 1825.

35x+15(75-x)=1825

35x+1125-15x= 1825

20x=700

x=35- gallons consumed by the first car,

75-35=40- gallons consumed by the second one
