We solve the equation (1/6)x + 14 = (3/4)x, where x is the number of gallons;
We have 2x/12 + 168/12 = 9x/12;
2x + 168 = 9x;
168 = 7x;
x = 168 ÷ 7;
x = 24 gallons;
Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
In 6 hours, J paints 1 room
So, in 1 hour, J paints 1/6 th of the room
Using similar logic, in 1 hour, T paints 1/12 th of the room.
Working together in one hour, they paint (1/6+1/12) th =1/4 of the room.
1/4 of the room is painted in 1 hour
So, 1 room is painted in 1 1/4=4 hours
Answer:
Equation of midsegment line: y = (-1/4)x + 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the parallel sides of a trapezoid are contained by the lines:-
y = (-1/4)x +5 and y = (-1/4)x - 1
Midsegment of any trapezoid is the line segment
1. that is parallel to pair of parallel side of trapezoid and
2. that passes through the middle of the trapezoid and cuts the other two sides into equal-half.
It means the midsegment would have same slope as the parallel lines and y-intercept would be in the middle of intercepts of parallel lines.
So y = mx + b
where m = -1/4 and b = (5 - 1)/2 = 4/2 = 2.
Hence, the equation of midsegment would be y = (-1/4)x + 2.
Answer:
n = 20 or n = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for n over the real numbers:
n^2 = 18 n + 40
Subtract 18 n + 40 from both sides:
n^2 - 18 n - 40 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:
(n - 20) (n + 2) = 0
Split into two equations:
n - 20 = 0 or n + 2 = 0
Add 20 to both sides:
n = 20 or n + 2 = 0
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Answer: n = 20 or n = -2
Answer:
72 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the angle is x degrees its complement is 90-x degrees and it's supplement is 180-x degrees.
4(90-x) = 2/3(180 - x)
360 - 4x = 120 - 2/3 x
360 - 120 = -2/3 x + 4x
240 = -2/3 + 12/3 x
240 = 10/3 x
x = 240 * 3/10
x = 72 degrees.
