The capacity of the tank in gallons is 24 gallons.

<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>

An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated by an equal sign.

It is given in the question that

When four gallons are added to a tank that is one-third full

the tank is then one-half full.

Let the capacity of the tank is x gallons

The equation can be formed for the capacity of the tank as

(1/3)x +4 = (1/2)x

(1/3)x -(1/2)x = -4

(1/6)x = 4

x = 24 gallons.

Therefore the capacity of the tank in gallons is 24 gallons.

Solve the following<br> equations for r:<br> 9r - 66 = 116 - 4r
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

r = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

9r - 66 = 116 - 4r

+4r                 +4r

13r - 66 = 116

     +66    +66

13r = 182

divide both sides by 13

r = 14

A raft travels down river at a rate of 6 miles per hour. The total distance d in miles that the raft travels is equal to the rat
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

d=6h

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the raft= 6 miles per hour

Total distance (d) of the raft= rate × number of hours

d=r*h

Independent variable is the number of hours(h)

Dependent variable is the distance (d)

Equation for the situation

d=r*h

d=distance

r=rate

h=number of hours

From the question,

r=6 miles per hour

Therefore,

The equation is

d=r*h

d=6*h

d=6h

A trapezoid has an area of 20 cm2 and a height z cm. The lengths of the parallel sides are (2z + 3) cm and (6z – 1) cm. Find the
Brums [2.3K]

Answer: 2.11cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

The lengths of the parallel sides are (2z + 3) cm and (6z – 1) cm

The area of trapezoid is calculated using the formula:

1/2(a + b) × h

Where ;

a = Length of side 1

b = length of side 2

h = height

Take a = (2z + 3) and b = (6z – 1), h = z

Therefore ;

1/2 (2z + 3 + 6z - 1) × z

Opening the bracket

(z + 1.5 + 3z - 0.5) × z

(4z + 1 ) × z = 20cm^2

4z^2 + z = 20cm^2

Using Quadratic formula:

4z^2 + z - 20 = 0

a = 4, b = 1, c = - 20

(-b±√b^2 -4ac) / 2a

Z = 2.11 or - 2.364

z cannot be negative, therefore,

Z = 2.11 cm
