usually people put a zip tie on the cable end down at the gas pedal to take up any slack, you can use more than 1 if needed

That cable on the left has an adjustment. Not sure about the right one. If stretched too much it should be replaced.

The left cable is for Cruise Control.
As been said, the throttle body cable(right) can be adjusted with zip tie, or buy new one.
I had a old mazda beater long time ago that had a manufacture defect of the throttle cable bracket actually breaking/ripping out of the firewall, mine happen to break the first day I was supposed to show up for training at DANA corp to build Toyota Tundra frames, there policy was 0 tolerance if you didn't make it to training everyday you were out. I was so pissed because I had beat out about 10,000 other people to that job. the break was practically unfixable as witnessed by numerous others in the junk yard but I macgyvered that mofo with a bracket I had a machine shop make worked perfect, drove that thing till it finally threw a rod, just one of those things that when you look back and realize it was a life changing event-stupid throttle cable smh
