Answer:
adjust city gallons to 3 gallons and freeway to 7 gallons
make your line in the chart:
3 | 10-3 = 7 | 3(25) = 75 | 7(40) = 280 | 75 =280 =355 | 355 | yes
Step-by-step explanation:
x = city gallons
y = freeway gallons
x+y = 10 then y = 10-x
25x+40y = 355
substitute for y
25x+40(10-x) = 355
25x+400-40x = 355
-15x+400 = 355
subtract 400 from each side
-15x = -45
divide both sides by -15
-15x/-15 = -45/-15
x = 3 gallons
y = 7 gallons
