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.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

  6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If the original side length is x, then the modified square has an area of ...

  A = LW

  32 = (x +2)(x -2) = x^2  -4

  36 = x^2 . . . . . . . . add 4

  6 = x . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

The original figure has a side length of 6 cm.
