Let x = the total cost of gas, dollars.

Originally, each of the three friends was to pay x/3 dollars each.
Finally, with two more friends added, the cost became x/5 dollars each.

The savings for each of the original three friends is $11, therefore
x/3 - x/5 = 11
(2x)/15 = 11
x = (11*15)/2 = $82.50

Answer: The total cost of gas is $82.50

Solve for x !!!!!!!!
xeze [42]

Answer:

D) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

By remote interior angle property if a triangle, we have:

19x° + (18x - 4)° = 144°

(18x - 4 + 19x)° = 144°

(37x - 4)° = 144°

37x - 4 = 144

37x = 144 + 4

37x = 148

x = 148/37

x = 4

A 30% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 70% solution of fertilizer in order to get 40 gallons of a 60% solution. How
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:10 gallons of 30% solution and 30 gallons of 70% solution should be mixed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of gallons of the 30% solution that should be mixed.

Let y represent the number of gallons of the 70% solution that should be mixed.

The total number of gallons of the mixture to be made is 40. This means that

x + y = 40

The 30% solution of fertilizer is to be mixed with a 70% solution of fertilizer in order to get 40 gallons of a 60% solution. This means that

0.3x + 0.7y = 0.6 × 40

0.3x + 0.7y = 24- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.3(40 - y) + 0.7y = 24

12 - 0.3y + 0.7y = 24

- 0.3y + 0.7y = 24 - 12

0.4y = 12

y = 12/0.4

y = 30

x = 40 - y = 40 - 30

x = 10
