There were two containers of oil. There was twice as much oil in the second container as in the first one. After using 13 liters

of oil from the first container and 7 liters from the second one, the second container still had 3 times more oil than the first one. How many liters of oil in total were in both containers originally?

Answer:

There are 96 liters of oil in both containers originally

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to mathematics equation

- Let the first container had A liters of oil and the second container

 had B liters of oil

- The quantity of oil B in the second container is twice the quantity

  of oil in A in the first container

∴ B = 2A ⇒ (1)

- After using 13 liters from the quantity of oil A in the first container,

 the container had (A - 13) liters

- After using 7 liters from the quantity of oil B in the second container,

 the container had (B - 7) liters

-  After that the quantity of oil in the second container is 3 times

 more oil than the first one

∴ B - 7 = 3(A - 13) ⇒ simplify

∴ B - 7 = 3A - 39 ⇒ add 7 and subtract 3A from both sides

∴ B - 3A = -39 + 7

∴ B - 3A = -32 ⇒ (2)

- Substitute the value of B from (1) into (2)

∴ 2A - 3A = -32

∴ -A = -32 ⇒ × -1

∴ A = 32 liters

- Find the value of B by substitute value of A in (1)

∴ B = 2(32) = 64 liters

- Now find the total liters of oil in both containers

∴ A + B = 32 + 64 = 96 liters

* There are 96 liters of oil in both containers originally

HURRY PLEASE!!!!! Triangle RST is translated 2 units left and then reflected over the y-axis.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The correct options are 1 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of triangle are S(-4,4), T(-1,4), R(-1,1).

If triangle translated 2 units left,

(x,y)\rightarrow (x-2,y)

and then reflected over the y-axis,

(x-2,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)

The relation between image and preimage is

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)                          ..... (1)

The vertices of image are

S(-4,4)\rightarrow S'(6,4)

T(-1,4)\rightarrow T'(3,4)

R(-1,1)\rightarrow R'(3,1)

Therefore the vertices of image are S'(6,4),T'(3,4), R'(3,1).

1. A reflection over the y-axis and then a translation 2 units right is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)

It is equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 1 is correct.

2. A 180 rotation about the origin, then a translation 2 units right, and then a reflection over the x-axis is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)

It is equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 2 is correct.

3. A reflection over the y-axis and then a translation 2 units left is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x-2,y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 3 is incorrect.

4. A 180 rotation about the origin, then a translation 2 units left, and then a reflection over the x-axis is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x-2,y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 4 is incorrect.

5. A reflection over the x-axis and then a translation 2 units right is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (x+2,-y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 5 is incorrect.

6. A reflection over the x-axis and then a translation 2 units left is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (x+2,-y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 6 is incorrect.

Therefore the correct options are 1 and 2.

in 1930 the average cost for a gallon of gasoline was $0.25. in 2007 the average cost for a gallon of gasoline is $2.60 what is
AlekseyPX
Hello! The first thing to do is to find the amount of change by subtracting both numbers. 2.60 - 0.25 is 2.35. Now, we set up a proportion by doing change/original = x/100. With the values plugged in, it would be written like this: 2.35/0.25 = x/100. Cross multiply the values in the proportion. When you do, you get 235 = 0.25x. Now, divide each side by 0.25 to isolate the "x". When you do that, x = 940. The price of gas has gone up 940% since 1930.
