Answer:

24 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 2 gallons of gas increased the fill ratio from 1/6 to 1/4, we can find how much of the tank the 2 gallons filled by solving the equation 1/4 - 1/6 = 1/12. This means that each gallon of gas is 1/24th of the tank.

Thus, the tank has a fuel capacity of 24 gallons.

Select the graph of the solution set that would represent the following expression. (x-2)=5(x+1)​
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Find the attached

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the following expression;

(x-2)=5(x+1)

We are required to determine the graph of the solution set. To do this we formulate the following set of equations;

y = x - 2

y = 5(x+1)

We then graph these two equations on the same cartesian plane. The solution will be the point where these two graphs intersect.

It is given that one number is 6 more than another. If three times the sum of the two numbers is equal to 22 more than the large
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

First number=22

Second number=28

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you don't know either of the numbers we can call the first number x. The second number is the first number plus 6 or x+6. The sum is 22 more than the larger number so x+6+22 or x+28. Using this we can create the equation x+x+6=x+28. In order to isolate x we would subract x from both sides ending up with x+6=28. Then subract 6 from both sides to get x=22. This means the first number equals 22. Then to solve for the second number you plug 22 in for x to get the equation 22+6= the second number, so the second number is equal to 28. Look below for just the equation.

x+x+6=x+6+22

2x+6=x+28

-x -x

x+6=28

-6. -6

x=22

22+6

=28

22+28= 28+22

50=50
