He would travel 6 miles every hour or so
To solve this equation we must first plug in 5 for x.

<span> (5 - 4x)
</span>↓

(5 - 4 · 5)
The next step would be to multiply 4 by 5 to get rid of the parenthesis within our main parenthesis.

(5 - 4 · 5)

(5 - 20)
The next step would be to subtract both of the numbers within the parenthesis.

(-15)
Now we must multiply.
-

· 15 = -

-

Now we simplify our answer to get our final answer.
-5
Answer:
a) Similar triangles are triangles with the same shape but not necessarily the same size
b) 15/45 = 8/x
1/3 = 8/x (simplify the 15/45)
x = 8 * 3 (cross multiplication)
x = 24
c) y^2 = 15^2 + 8^2 (Pythagoras theorem)
y = *square root of* 15^2 + 8^2
y = 17
1/3 = 17/z
z = 17 * 3 (cross multiplication)
z = 51
Answer: He needs 9 hours to finish the task.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, first we have to subtract the gallons of water already in the tank (75) to the total capacity of the tank (300).
300-75 = 225
He needs to fill 225 gallons.
Since the pump Ross uses can fill 25 gallons of water per hour, the proportion is :
25 g / 1h
For 225 gallons:
225 g / x hours
Solving for x
25/1 = 225/x
x= 225/ (25/1)
x = 9 hours
