Answer 2

Rancho Turbo gets 23 mpg & Supra gets 18 mpg

Explanation:

Let mpg of Rancho Rurbo be r and mpg of Supra be s

We can write equations as:

r = s + 5

and

s + 2r = 64

We can substitute 1st equation into 2nd and find s first:

s + 2(s+5) = 64

s + 2s + 10 = 64

3s = 64 - 10

3s = 54

s = 54/3

s = 18

Thus, r = s + 5 = 18 + 5 = 23

Rancho Turbo gets 23 mpg & Supra gets 18 mpg
