The answer is 24 because the least common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24.
x/.75=x-56/0.4
0.4x=.75x-42
-0.35x=-42
x=120
I set up a proportion in which x=the tank when it is 3/4 full. When the tank is 3/4 full, solving the proportion tells us the x=120 litres. 120/3=40, and 120+40 is 160, showing that a tank completely full would indeed hold 160 litres.
Hope this helps!
The answer is 5 . because if you count the # it will go to 28
Answer:
No, They are not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
The two expressions are only said to be equivalent if they are the same regardless of whatever value the variable(s) is.
The variable in this question is x.
To prove this, we equate both expressions:


This shows that they have the same value ONLY when x is 1.
This is why Andre says that they are equivalent, but they are not.
X=1/2
