Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the fuel efficiency of the car that used the most gas. Since the sum of the fuel efficiencies is 40 mpg, the other car had a fuel efficiency of (40-x). Then the combined miles driven is ...
40x +25(40-x) = 1225
15x = 225
x = 15
(40-x) = 25
The first car got 25 miles per gallon; the second car got 15 miles per gallon.
We made use of the relation ...
gallons × (miles/gallon) = miles
